Acrylic Rattle Can Finish

[Sonic Mountain]

Acrylic is is pretty good & you can get a satin variant from supercheap. I've used it on several builds. For a really nice satin finish that is extremely durable I find it hard to go past Cabots Marine Grade Polyurethane, available at Bunnings. It's around $20 for a can, but that will be more than enough for a body.

I did this one in that product, but I had also done it in gloss and blocked it back before hand so that no grain is apparent. Some deeper cracks were filled with CA as well.



This is just a can and no grain filling, but several coats over a few days.



This one is using the same stain as the top one and no grain fill because I wanted to show the weathered wood a bit more.



And this is the product itself

They look fantastic, and the level of gloss I'm looking for. How many coats of the Cabots do you apply? What's the curing time before you can assemble the guitar?
