Brush-On I Can't Believe It's Not Lacquer - Low Sheen

Solarez Brushable I Can't Believe It's Not Lacquer

Solarez I Can’t Believe It’s Not Lacquer (ICBNL) is a low-VOC, green-technology resin formulated to cure rapidly under UV light—either sunlight or artificial UV (385nm). Non-flammable and low-odour, it is an ideal finishing solution for luthiers and hobbyists working in small shops.

With no lacquer-thinner smell, ultra-fast curing, and excellent sanding performance, ICBNL offers a modern alternative to traditional nitrocellulose lacquer. This is the brush-on formula, suitable for application with a brush or foam pad in thin, even coats.
