Joe One of the nicest parts about acrylic lacquer is they are quite flexible for some time. The screw holes clean out easily with a sharp counter sink. Its not brittle and you gotta whack it, or scratch it hard to really mess it up. Down side is, if you get it too thick the washers and rear aliquots tend to bury into the lacquer a bit.

I printed it out to show to my refinisher.<G> Justwondering how this stuff is in regard to "chipping". I've yet to find anyfinish that will resist chipping unless it is less than a week old, (i.e.still soft ). I've found that using an appropriate counter sink on thescrew holes, right after the initial finishing process, helps to eliminatesome chipping, but ya really have to have all your ducks in a row to getthe plate stuffed into the carcus and get the strings on before the darnedstuff sets up hard. Any suggestions?Regards,JoeJoe Garrett, R.P.T.Captain of the Tool PoliceSquares R I From: Joseph Garrett <joegarrett at earthlink.net> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
