CrystaLac Brite Tone Top Coat - Instrument Finish

CrystaLac Brite-Tone High Solids Top Coat & Instrument Finish

Since 2013, Wood Essence has packaged and applied our own Canadian compliant label for CrystaLac Brite-Tone High Solids Top Coat as a premium, waterbased instrument finish. 

While originally developed and labelled for instruments this product's popularity has expanded to a variety of high end finishing projects including as an Epoxy Free clear finish for tumblers and other craftwork.

We now offer the gallon size in your choice of a jug or removable lid style paint can.  The jug can be very convenient for pouring quantities of the Gloss sheen.  Please note that Satin or Matte sheens must be mixed thoroughly with a stir stick or drill mixer to dislodge any flattening agent that has settled to the bottom of the container.  This can be difficult with the jug style and so we recommend that container style only when product will be used immediately upon arrival and in a short period of time.

The very high solids content results in quick, full build on most projects with fewer coats (4 to 5 coats).

Stunning optical clarity shows exceptional highlighting of figure and subtle effects on natural or dyed wood without a "blue hue" even over dark or black base colors.

Finished surfaces harden quickly for proper buffing to full gloss using compatible paste or bar compounds (click for Menzerna compounds).

Can be tinted withColorFX Dyes or with Mixol Pigments for a broad range of custom effects including bursts and toning.

For brushing applications, add 20% Brite-Tone Reducer.
