ColorTone Waterbase Guitar Finish - Clear Gloss Top Coat

How to apply:

For best results, apply thin, even coats to create a level build. Ready to brush or spray with no thinning required. Brush or spray one side of the body at a time, with the body laying flat to avoid runs.

Brush 3-5 coats, allow to dry 4 hours between coats. Use a high-quality foam or bristle brush. Let excess drip off before applying (squeezing off excess will introduce bubbles).

Or: Spray 5-12 coats, allow to dry 3 hours between coats.

There is no set rule for the number of coats to be applied and the time between. It is important for a coat to dry well before applying the next coat. If you find the finish is not showing signs of being applied too quickly (bubbles, milkiness, excessive softness after drying) the amount of coats can be increased slightly and the time between shortened.

It is important a thick enough layer is applied to allow cutting back and polishing. The cutting back is done after the finish has fully cured (curing time of 2+ weeks is optimal) with fine wet and dry sandpaper and polishing compound. It is possible to achieve a mirror finish with proper cutting back.
