Polyu over Reranch nitrocellulose lacquer?

TELEkinetic · February 6th, 2006, 11:49 AM

Just curious.....

I will be beginning a new project with a Poplar Tele body and have ordered from the Reranch:

Spray sand and sealer,
White Primer,
Shell Pink lacquer, and
Gloss clear coat.

I wondered how a spray-on and wipe-on Minwax polyu would work instead of the nitro clearcoat.

Any experience with this here?

It just happens that I am doing a similar thing right now. Normally I would have used Krylon but my black Krylon cans were nearly empty and I had a can of ReRanch black. I sprayed the ReRanch black over Deft sander/sealer. I've sprayed a couple of coats of MinWax gloss poly over the ReRanch black after letting the ReRanch set for a day. No problems so far.

The spray poly drys much slower than lacquer. Nothing drys as fast as lacquer.

I used wipe-on poly over Reranch on two amp cabinets. Went on like a charm and, although it's been less than a year for either one, there is no sign at all of any bad reaction to the mix. I should note, though, that the Butterscotch from Reranch is dye only with no lacquer in the mix.

Just thinking of how easy my last project went with that wipe-on poly......

My goal was shell pink with a clear coat but it seems all I read about is long drying time, sanding, sand throughs, etc.... I could spray on a couple of sealer coats and then wipe on, or maybe just use the spray and sand a little with some 1500 or 2000 grit.

How would swirl remover work on polyu?
