- More time for you – You no longer have to wait hours while your project dries. Brite Tone dries quickly and can be recoated in 2-4 hours, allowing you to complete your projects efficiently and enjoy your finished pieces sooner.
- Keep the tone - we specifically designed Brite Tone to be a luthier's dream top coat. This product will not alter the tone of your instruments and will keep them sounding as you intended for years to come.
- Environment: for best results, apply Brite Tone in a room temperature between 68-75ºF.
- Sealing: Prior to using Brite Tone, we recommend using a CrystaLac sealer to enhance the natural colors in the wood and to minimize grain raise.
- Dry Time: Wait 4 hours between each coat. You do not need to sand between coats.
