THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH PENDING SAMPLES FROM GAL. “Cat Fox, Renowned Seattle Pro Tech, Reviews MasterTint Powdered Color Additives" OR "Cat Fox, Renowned Seattle Pro Tech, Reviews GluBoost Products and Puts MasterTint Pure Color Additives to the Test" We posed a set of questions based on Cat’s use of GluBoost products and her first test with MasterTint. With Fill n' Finish Pro and/or Thin, what are their primary advantages over other finishing products you have used? I love the GluBoost products. Fill n’ Finish hardens up without the pinholes and brittleness that our previous finishes had. One spritz of the GluBoost accelerator, a few drops of Fill n’ Finish, another quick spritz of GluBoost, and within a few minutes you are ready to level the fill. We have found it easy to level without chipping, especially if you don’t let it sit too long. It levels and buffs out very well, making an often quite almost invisible repair, even on spruce. All of us at Sound Guitar Repair love this product, and we are so happy to have found it! What (missing) needs does Fill n' Finish fulfill? It is a huge step up from previous repair products for filling dents in guitar finishes, both in ease of application and the ultimate look of the result. We fill the edges of unbound frets with it, too. Any tips or anything else you'd care to add to your review? We love how GluBoost does not eat into finish the way some other accelerators do, and can spray it with assurance that you won’t be really sorry! This was brought home to me quite recently when I sprayed another accelerant on a fretboard, overshot, and made some ugly little spots on the finish of the guitar that I then had to fix with your own Fill n’ Finish… doh! Please give us your similar, unabridged thoughts on the new MasterTint (Vintage Kit) Color Additives. I used one of the Vintage tints on the back of a Gibson with that Gibson red lacquer. It was a perfect match, and the big ding absolutely went away. I was quite happy with the result. One caveat: the tints are very concentrated. You sure don’t need much. I mixed up the tint and the glue in a little cup before applying and I’m glad I did… a little tint goes a very long way! A side note from me (LanceK) If you have not tried any of Gluboost products, are you seriously missing out. Yes they are a sponsor of the OLF so I understand if you view my opinion as biased, That said, anyone that knows me knows that I dont blow smoke. Its with out question the best CA and accelerator I have ever used. [url]http://gluboost.com/url] |

I have been using this for about a year and find it is a great product. I used it for finish and typical repair stuff. On lacquer I love the accelerator . It is worth the look see and try some. I have used the full line from Glu Boost. The fill and finish comes is 2 viscosities that I used thin and med I like the med for larger area I have only used this on nitro finishes so I cannot speak for poly |

Talk about a coincidence I got a blue ridge 000 in the shop yesterday with a top crack and finish damage. I used the info from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd0INGg3OM8 the repair came out well. Took about 30 mins the only difference was I used the thin CA and leveled off with 400 then the thin finish fill again wet sanded over dry sanded did 600 then 800 applied the 2nd coat. I had to use my finger to level off on the 2nd coat then wet sanded to 2000 and buffed came out nice Yes you can see a little difference in the top finish but you need a 4 power lens to see it. I will use this product again. |
