It was expensive, $48, for the gallon as it is considered hazardous
material. The lacquer from U.S. Cellulose is 24% solids. Steinway was
using a water white nitro with 12% solids. I was told at the factory that
they are now using 24% solids. I'm sorry, I did not ask if they sell and
ship their lacquer. If they do, I suppose it will be expensive as well
due to the hazardous material designation.</blockquote><br>
Their site also lists some other important variations, including the
volume% of solids. For example: The LC600 Water White Topcoat
shows 14% solids by volume; whereas the LC405 Water White Vinyl Sanding
Sealer<b> </b>shows 20%. (As opposed to 24% solids by weight for
the former and the latter.) The latter can be catalyzed (which
provides moisture resistance), which should probably happen before being
thinned down for voicing use.<br><br>
Since US Cellulose is in Chico, CA, it's a relatively local source for
some of us. If shipping is a problem, one might be able to work
something out with a local chemical/photographic supply house.
Places like that deal with hazardous materials shipping
regularly.<br><br>
