aaronhirsch Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hi. I've been very gradually bringing some La Scalas back from the dead. I'm going to veneer them with figured cherry. I want to end up with a more or less "stock" finish which I gather is going to be more matte/semi-gloss. I was planning on using a spray lacquer and am looking for some suggestions: brands, suggested gloss level, anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave MacKay Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I can't speak to lacquers but I can share my experience. I veneered my La Scalas in Sapele and finished them with Rubio Monocoat "Clear". The Rubio finish is quite matte. Good luck with your project! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up a pair of Heresy 1s on Friday. 😄 I’ll be refurbishing them when the warm weather returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I just refinished some Chorus IIs with oil based urethane, Sand, apply with a foam brush, repeat two times. The finish is glass smooth to the touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
