hi there (it's my first time posting here)

I was wondering what are the types of lacquer products used nowdays on
horns?? Perhaps somebody could provide me some product and
manufacturer names......and also, does it come as a powder or liquid??

thank you very much

Traditional instrument lacquer is air-drying and cellulose based, but there
are now epoxy types which become chemically activated when mixed with a
catalyst. Get the free tool catalogue from www.ferreestools.com . They have
various types of lacquer, suggest a possible room layout for a spray shop
and give several professional "tips" about spraying.
To spray instruments to a professional standard requires a space where you
can control ventilation, dust, temperature and humidity... as well as the
spraying gear and loads of practice! I always send my newly renovated
instruments to a specialist firm for lacquering while I get on with the next
job.

Yes...I've always found laquering to be my least favorite part of any repair
that requires it. It's a shame to spend a few hours on some serious dent wrk
or something and then CLOUD it all up with a poor laquer job or a RUN for
that matter.
