Real Users love our NEW Water-Based Instrument Lacquer

Since the launch of our NEW Aqua Coat Water-Based Instrument Lacquer, musicians, luthiers, and woodworkers have been raving about the results. Here are just a few highlights from recent feedback—visit our Instrument Lacquer page to explore more.

• "I recently used Aqua Coat Water-Based Instrument Lacquer on one of my guitars, and I’m seriously impressed. It’s super easy to apply, goes on smoothly, and I needed far fewer coats than I expected to get that glossy, professional look. The finish dries nicely without that strong chemical smell you usually get with lacquer."
• "The lacquer leveled itself out really nicely. The surface came out glossy and smooth without much effort.. For the actual finish on the guitar, I’m really happy with how it turned out. If you’re planning multiple builds or refinishes, this is a great value and very easy to work with."
• "The Lacquer really impressed me. The finish leveled beautifully, leaving a deep, reflective gloss. The clarity is outstanding. It dries fast, doesn’t smell harsh, and cleans up easily with water. This is an excellent choice for any woodworking project where you want that high-end look without the mess or fumes of solvent-based finishes."
• "This lacquer outperforms solvent-based lacquers that I have used in the past. It is noticeably harder and far more resistant to scratches, chemicals, wear, and dings. The finish stays crystal clear. Plus, it is eco-friendly. It delivers all the benefits of a solvent-based lacquer, but it is water-based and simply a better choice. Best of all, water cleanup."
