Solarez Grain Sealer Filler – 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 that cures quickly under UV light—either sunlight or artificial UV sources. This formula provides a clean, safe, and efficient finishing option for luthiers and hobbyists working in small shops.

With no harsh “lacquer thinner” smell, this resin cures in minutes and sands extremely well. This specific product is the Grain Sealer & Filler version, designed to fill open pores and prepare wood surfaces for final finishing.

Simplified Application Method:

1. Apply the Grain Sealer Filler using a roller, brush, or pad.

2. Work the filler into the wood pores using a squeegee in multiple directions.

3. Final squeegee pass should be at a 45° angle to the grain, leaving minimal residue on the surface.

4. Expose the surface to sunlight or artificial UV (385nm) for 2–3 minutes.

5. Level sand using approximately 400-grit sandpaper.

6. Repeat as needed (3 applications typical) until pores are fully filled.

7. Final sand with 400-grit before applying subsequent finish coats.
