How can i remove the finish on my guitar down to the wood and then apply a coat of lacquer so theres no paint?
I have an ibanez guitar that has a few nasty scratches on the finish, and while they only penetrate maybe half the gloss i kinda wanna take off the finish entirely and then apply a coat of lacquer so i can have a nice regular wood look to my guitar with no paint, how do i go about this?
These are the things you are going to need.
Piece of Sandpaper
Spray can of Lacquer
Now just sand it down until it looks nice and apply your lacquer and you are good to go.

Election of New Wood Flooring
One of the easiest ways to improve the appearance and value of your home is to adapt to an oak floor in everywhere.
Besides being beautiful and strong, they are also environmentally friendly. Wood is a natural resource that is both renewable and recyclable. Is warm and strong and healthy walking. Normally wooden floor is never required replacement. And you can add thousands of pounds to the value of a house.
There are many options to choose from. Not only the design of the plant, but the shading and texture too.
Fitting of a real wood floor need not be daunting. No previous experience and easily rented equipment, a novice can install a hardwood floor and competently with professional results.
Selection of species and style wood flooring that fits your home is of utmost importance as it may have the floor for life. A solid hardwood floor can be purchased before the end of meaning is ready to use and walk on when it is installed.
The finish is usually acrylic or polyurethane varnish that is durable and resistant to wear. However just oil are increasingly popular, as has come to understand the maintenance is easy and simple.
Real wood floors (usually solid type) are also available unfinished. This means that after installation and a sandpaper, a finish such as oil, wax or varnish may be applied.
The simplest way of installing a hardwood floor is secret nailing (through language) in a base of plywood, flooring grade chipboard, beam or ribbons. If you have an existing wood floor, this should first be addressed with a sheet of 6mm plywood to ensure the stability of his new apartment. Packaging of a hardwood floor in concrete floors are best avoided despite the recent advantages in wood floor adhesive on the market today.
The styles of floors Solid wood available are:
Gaza Strip - This is typically between 57mm and 90mm wide and is available in random lengths. This takes a little more time to adapt to a greater width, but ultimately, is more stable.
Plank - This denotes normally wider than 120 mm to 200 mm wide. | This is a wider width floor boards. However, always bear in mind that the wider, the plant's tendency to shrink and distance, or expand and buckle.
Flooring - parquet floors look very different from typical hardwoods. It is built of wood cut Stather lasts are handmade in the tiles, which are mounted on a backing plate. Some of these can be installed in a manner similar to wood floors
Hardwoods engineering solid wood wear layer of between 2 mm-6mm which is laminated softwood plywood or a nucleus. The advantage of engineered hardwoods is its ease of installation and stability. If you want a very comprehensive understanding of type table, engineered flooring ensure less movement of wood solid. However, this may cost a bit more expensive than solid plank.
Engineered hardwood, but suitable for secret nailing, also be installed "free floating" through an underlying. Another advantage of engineered hardwoods is that most can use a heating floors.
Wood Finishes
The final finish (as opposed to staining) is what protects the wood from staining, wear and moisture. Different types of finishes are: --
Oil-Finish - The surface finish is most common, the oil is applied in two or three coats. Oil soaks in the wood providing good protection against wear and staining. This can be left as a matte finish or buffed to give a glow of light. The big advantage is that the finish is inherent in the usual wood is' scratch and can be easily repaired.
A polyurethane lacquer - a good option for the DIY-er, this finish is dry quickly and easily cleaned with soap and water. This provides excellent wear protection for the soil and gives a professional finish. Even in areas of High traffic can show scratches or marks.
PU Impregnator and Wax. A polyurethane sealer (impregnator) is applied to the timber, which acts as an impermeable barrier. Wax can be applied by hand and buffed up to a warm patina.
Wood or laminate?
With the popularity of laminate flooring to grow each day, many people often wonder which to choose, or laminated wood.
Laminate flooring is typically constructed with a primary HDF, situated between a Melamine foil support, high quality photo paper with an image of wood, stone or other natural soil, and melamine laminate top. While laminate floors are inexpensive and durable, they are also noisier to walk, cold and not as attractive as the 'real thing'
There are advantages and disadvantages for both wood and laminate flooring. Wood floors can be
scratches, nicks, but are fairly easy to repair. If a laminate floor is scratched or dented, not very easy to repair. When a wood floor can be sanded to remove imperfections, the same can not be done laminate flooring companies make adjustments and repair kits chips, as well as providing the replacement of boards. With hardwoods, however, a simple light sanding may do the trick.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Caring for a wood floor usually requires little effort. Always try to clean and dry the floor, as it is the safest and most efficient. If you must clean wet floor, keep in mind that leaving a layer of moisture to dry on your floor lets you look boring and soon will attract more dirt.
Maintaining brightness is important as this prevents dirt adhering to your floor. Always fit protective pads on the base of the units and install a good door mat at the entrance and You find that this will eliminate most of the scratches on his new apartment.
