How many cans do you go through each guitar? Trying to keep costs to an absolute minimum for this one, and i've already got a healthy supply of tru oil. But i'm keen to give it a go on my next build (because, of course, I'm already speccing for that).

Yeah fair enough. It's definitely not the cheapest solution with cans at around $25 each and then shipping ($20 from Melbourne to Bordertown in my case) which is gonna vary obviously.Originally Posted by pablopepper
I reckon if you were going satin clear, two cans would easily do a full guitar, whereas a gloss finish I'd be inclined to go 3 cans just to be on the safe side.
Bloody hell. Still want to give it a go, but goddamn man. Guess, I'm sorted for colours for a while, so I should be able to splash out a bit next time.
But, just once.........yeah, once.....

I know, I know. It's shocking ain't it. It's a bitter irony that I have literally zero funding for these builds and yet choose the most expensive finish on the planet, it speaks volumes about how impatient a person I am, hehehe:-)
You can actually buy litre tins for not much more than 1 rattle can, I definitely need to invest in a decent spray gun for the compressor.
Do you have to wear one of these to spray this stuff? Joking aside I may also try this finish on my next axe.

Probably in a similar price range, pound for pound:-)Do you have to wear one of these to spray this stuff?
I guess it all comes down to common sense, as with all solvents. A well ventilated area and a good mask.
yeah I'll give it a crack on a future build Barge, you talked me into it like a used car salesman haha

Not what I expected, but not bad.
