No fumes, easy application (with an HVLP spray gun) and cleanup plus a relatively quick drying time

I hand finished a guitar body with this product. After proper sanding, grain filling and sealing I applied 10 coats with a sponge brush. allowed 1 day per coat (10 days) dry time for proper curing. Level wet sanded with high grit papers and rubbing compounds. Achieved a mirror like high gloss professional result all by hand. Loved working with this product. Although, I will probably go with 8 coats next time.

100% pleased. Not overly viscous, no odor and water clean up- what’s not to like? It is a rather pale murky color in the container, really makes you question whether it will be clear once dry.Dried clear and hard. If you’re wanting a shiny professional finish this product will not disappoint. If you’re wanting a thick finish like traditional epoxy you’ll need to apply several coats. IMO this does not make it undesirable considering all the benefits it offers. Dries fast so if you were to bump the piece soon after applying it’s likely you will not ruin the finish. To apply additional coats follow directions.I make items from polymer clay. Polymer clay is notorious for interacting with adhesives and coatings then becoming sticky. This has yet to do this which is wonderful. I can’t use epoxy due to allergic reaction and UV resins are not always the best choice for a piece. I’ve used this for earring pieces and literally dipped the item in then monitored them for the drips and then wiped them off until the excess had run off. This has also been great for painting onto item which are larger. I can’t use apply as much or little as needed, something an epoxy or UV won’t do.

J'aime beaucoup ce produit. Je confectionne des sous verres et 2 couches de ce produit offre la protection désirée pour les tasses de café par exemple ou verre d'eau froide. Belle brillance également

I’ve used this on a couple of guitars. It works well. I’ve noticed some reviewers are pretty scant on the curing time (10 days or less).This is from the Crystalac site:Cure Time: Since it is waterborne and doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals, Brite Tone can take up to 30 days to fully cure.Personally I let it cure for 6 weeks.There is some difference of opinion regarding dry vs wet sanding (it’s like a Ford vs Chevy debate; heavy on opinion but light on facts). The first guitar I wet sanded after 6 weeks with no issues. The second one I dry sanded after 6 weeks and ended up sanding through. I have it now refinished and hanging for another 6 weeks after which I will wet sand it.The general reason for dry sanding is that this is a water based product and the water in the sandpaper could dilute it. To me this is nonsense. If it is cured it is cured. And I (as have others) have found it wet sands just fine.

The product is a great alternative to using epoxy. It's easy to clean up, no mixing different portions together. It's water based so there is no need to wear a mask or gloves as I would do with epoxy. After 6 months of using epoxy I developed an allergic reaction so I limit my use of epoxy and use Brite Tone instead. It drys faster, less time on the turners. The only thing I don't like about it is the price. It has increased my costs in decorating tumblers. Overall it's a great product.

I use this product on my polymer clay earrings. It’s an excellent replacement product to use instead of resin. Easy to use with awesome results. Meets all expectations. Will definitely order again when I need to. Highly recommend.

My first experience with this was terrible. I had to strip it all off which was easy on flat surfaces because it pulled off in sheets. The corners took many hours to remove this not to mention the damage that had to be repaired after I finally got it off. There are no instructions from the manufacturer, instead they send you to a YouTube video at Highline Guitars. You think they would have suggestions on its application. Where did the guy in the YouTube video get his info? I really do not like trying new products because I work so hard to get to a point of applying a finish to possibly have to strip it all off and start over. The problem was I sanded it too soon and it peeled in one spot. You do need to wait about a week so it can cure properly.That said, I had applied this to another piece and waited a week then sanded and buffed. The final result was stunning. It was very close to nitrocellulose lacquer without the fumes, hassle and long wait time to gas off. I applied 5 coats 2 hours apart, waited a week, sanded with 1000 -3000 then buffed. No respiratory protection needed.
