SOLAREZ I Can’t Believe It’s Not Lacquer ~ Grain Sealer (Pint) ~ No Odor, No Waiting - Cures 3-5 Minutes!, Eco-Friendly Zero VOC's, Perfect Sanding & No Dangerous Fumes!

This is a little tricky to get used to, but sets very quick and very hard surface. Excellent product, but does have some smell.

Easiest finish job I ever did and looks great.

I bought this to test sealing and filling guitar bodies.The test was on a worst case scenario - a plywood body.The jug says "Grain Sealer Filler", I think the "filler" wasn't added to the contents inside of the jug.PROS:In good direct sunlight, it cures fast, as it should.Low odor (it is not odor free, smelling like a weak epoxy).Reasonably easy to use.Reasonably easy to clean up.Sands easily - a big plus!It's not lacquer ( I see that as a plus ).A little goes a long way, but each coat is VERY thin.CONS:Price.Somewhat messy.Some odor.Minimal "filling" ability.Runs easily, which can be a hardened mess.I don't know if this product is compatible with 3M Micro balloons. If so, filling characteristics may be greatly enhanced. That will be future test, if the balloons are compatible with this UV resin.Overall, I was pleased by the process, even though it wasn't all I expected.The instructions list 3 coats, and I think that must be a minimum suggested application number. My testing went well, and while I'll use the remainder of the product on other projects, I don't think it is the filler that I'm looking for in the long run.

I started using grain sealer because HD wasn't really cutting it for the wood department. I purchased both major brands of the grain sealer and this one definitely works perfect. For those who don't know, this will help smooth out wood grain and help with a glassy smooth feel. It's definitely some extra steps but it brings your wood working to the next level.

I used Aqua "jacket" brand on one side of a guitar body and the Solerez UV cure on the other. Hands down the Solerez is a better product because it has next to no shrinkage and it took 3 coats to fill in the grain on Ash wood and it took 7 coats of the A-coat to get the same results. The Solerez sands much nicer as well.

Used this on some redwood as a sealer and clear coat in one. It was a failure. The resin soaked into the wood and everything below the surface never cured. Sunlight couldn’t get to it. I tried a UV flashlight and that didn’t fix it either. Huge pain. Going to use Z-Poxy going forward.With pine, I had better results. Less porous and a light color to reflect light back through the resin to cure the deeper stuff.

Used it for a scroll saw project before painting. Applied 4 coats as directed. It really does do an excellent job makes the wood, glass smooth paint looks great on it. It is pricey in my opinion but very little is needed after the 1st coat

AWESOME stuff
