Acoustic Guitar Construction

I read about this brush on another forum and tried it. It's a brush specifically designed for waterbourne lacquers. Made by Gramercy Tools, it's said to be made with "synthetic badgerhair bristles". It has taken some getting use to but I'm getting great results. Works best if I dampen the brush a little with water before starting. Dip the brush into the lacquer to load, alow it to drip back into the can, not wiping against the inside of the can. I can brush a thin coat completely on one side with loading the brush once. I still get a small amount of air bubbles, but nowhere near what I have had with other brushes.

Any pix, Kyle? Sounds interesting.

I will try to get some pics today as I'm putting the last coats on.

Is this the one you are using?

A good brush makes a world of difference for sure. I've had good results with waterbased finishes using this brush from Lee Valley. I haven't tried it with other finishes yet, but I think I will in the next day or two and let you know how it works.

Thanks Ken that is the brush that I'm using. Not a bad price for a good brush. I have the 2" brush and seems like a good size.
