Why do you recommend the Lacquer finish?

Frequently Asked Questions about our Bunk Beds and Loft Beds
We recommend lacquer because it is the best finish we have found for our products. The lacquer protects the wood from moisture, and at the same time penetrates into the surface, bringing out the natural beauty of the wood...lacquer makes the wood "come alive" (not to sound too corny, but it's true). The lacquer also provides a semi-glossy surface that is easy to clean, and looks great.

What about a nitrocellulose lacquer finish? Can I get that on my bass?

LeCompte Electric Bass - Custom Bass Guitars
While I can't guarantee all those things, I will do my best at making recommendations and steer you in the right direction if you need some help picking out parts and materials. Keep in mind that what we build are custom basses and the bass you order will end up sounding how it ends up sounding. I use the best materials I can find. If you're putting the good stuff into a bass build it only makes sense that bass will end up sounding great.

What finish do you recommend?

Mountain Timber Products - double tongue and groove log home...
When construction is complete, most builders will want to apply a finish to the raw timbers. The finish can help protect the wood from the damage caused by insects, fungi, dampness or intense sun. Finishes also can stain the wood to the tone you like best. We recommend a three-part finish by SASHCO that combines a layer of insecticide/fungicide and a layer of stain, with a protective top layer. This system allows you to refresh the top layer as needed without adding multiple layers of stain.

Is French polish really better than a lacquer finish?

Zavaleta's FAQ
Although traditional wisdom has it that French polish is more conducive to sound, hence is better, the issue really isn't that clear. More to the point, the question is how hard and thick the finish is, especially on the top. Although thick, hard finishes will dampen sound, lacquer may be applied just as thinly as French polish, and if properly applied seems to work just as well. There are other considerations as well that should be kept in mind.

Nitro is often called a "thin skin" as it really allows the guitar to resonate freely. It has a superior feel and a super glossy look to it. Poly is almost like a thin layer of plastic. It feels tacky and doesn't allow the guitar to resonate very well. Most companies use poly because its faster to work with.

Is lacquer the same as shellac?

Minwax
No. Despite the similarities in their names, Shellac and lacquer are not the same, and are not related. Shellac is an insect resin secreted by the Lac bug, which lives in India and Southeast Asia. Shellac’s solvent is alcohol. Lacquer is based on cellulose nitrate (nitrocellulose) with resins added to make it less brittle, and nitrocellulose is made from wood pulp. Lacquer’s solvent is lacquer thinner.

What is the difference between a brushing lacquer and a spraying lacquer?

Minwax
Brushing lacquers are formulated for application with a brush. Spraying lacquers are formulated to be applied using specialized spray equipment. Spraying lacquers do not give satisfactory results when they are applied with a brush, as they are sticky, hard to brush out, and leave a streaky finish. They also dry very quickly. They tend to be difficult for a DIYer work with.

What are the differences between lacquer and varnish?

This is my page
One of the most protective finishes available, varnishes have very good resistance against abrasion, wear, Many furniture factories and large volume refinishers use lacquers because of their fast-drying characteristics the tradeoff we believe to be time v. quality. Oil based varnish does not dry very quickly, therefore it will take longer to complete a finishing project using varnish as opposed to lacquer, but the upside is a more durable, quality finish.
