Mohawk Classic Instrument Lacquer,. Wood Craft, or Amazon search.

Haha, I new what you really meant. I think if you use Google Translate “Meatloaf” translates to “Neatlac”.

I just noticed that my spell check wrote meatloaf instead of Neatlac. 😮 Hahaha!

Hey Doug.
Meatloaf and wyosheen are both nitrocellulose lacquers. Even a fairly thick coat of lacquer on wood dries in about 15 or 20 minutes. On leather it’s almost instantaneous.

I used to use a spray can, but just sprayed it onto the fleece for the resist. I want it on there as thin as possible. I also don’t want the antique on their thick either, so don’t worry about a little coming off. But I don’t use lacquer for the topcoat. That makes it too thick. Spraying it as a topcoat will make it way too thick. That’s why I just use bagcoat as a topcoat. If you get most of the antique off it will look more lustrous. On a saddle especially, you don’t want a thick coat of lacquer. It resists future oiling on the parts that don’t get much flexing, the seat, back jockeys, and fork. That’s why a lot of makers won’t use it at all. Stewart McDonald Co sells a high-quality guitar lacquer. Also, Mohawk brand musical instrument lacquer is what I have here in the shop. I don’t have the scumming problems with it that I’ve seen in other lacquers. Especially on dark colored leathers. These lacquers have more plasticizers in them to accommodate the expansion and contraction of acoustic instruments.

Here is a link to a web search for the Mohawk lacquer.

Here is the Stew Mac link. I haven’t used their lacquer, but expect it to perform the same.
