Cliff Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I know there's a few on this board that use lacquer paints. I looking into switching over from auto-air. Any particular brand or supplier recommendations ? Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baitmaker2 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I was told that because of EPA regs. that lacquer will be phased out, I believe that Janns Netcraft still carries lacquer paints, don't know of anywhere else but I don't use lacquer very often to paint my baits, the drawbacks are too much for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodieb8 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 cliff we use a lot of lacquer based paints. we are in canada though. one thing it does have the qualities of dry fast but you would have to be very careful. toxidity and acceptability to other finishes. as for suppliers its a demographic thing but if you have any questions on using feel free to pm us.

Cliff Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks for the info. I'm aware of the hazards involved. I've got an explosion-proof paint booth, respirator and only a few brain cells left to loose! . From some research on taxidermy boards, it sounds like the single action clogs less than the double action with lacquer. I've used the VL for about 8 years and hate to change now, anyone here using a VL with lacquers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
