OK... So Mirotone were no help. They said I needed to call the state distributor for technical information. Strange they wouldn't field technical questions... Anyways, I called the state distributor/supplier (who have always been helpful to me), and they said I could try 3150 over 3220, but they don...

Thanks guys, but Colortone pigment does not ship outside the USA. Maybe it once did, but I've noticed it being blacklisted for a while: http://www.stewmac.com/Materials_and_Supplies/Finishing_Supplies/Colors_and_Tints_and_Stains/ColorTone_Liquid_Pigment_for_Lacquer.html Dyes appear to certainly be s...

Unfortunately I can't get my hands on Colortone pigments, due to their inability to ship them outside the USA. I believe Mixol is an alternative, but I don't think I can get them locally. I forgot to mention that I did walk out with some black Mirostain to test, but adding the maximum 10%, it makes ...

Hi ANZLF, Long story short, I recently prep'd a body with 3220 Mirocat, sealing it and building up a more-or-less level(ish) base that I was planning on painting in full-gloss opaque black: http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h457/017_017_017/temp/3220_1.jpg I dropped into my local Mirotone supplier...

Hi, I plan on mixing product and thinner at a 50:50 ratio. What specific thinner/s would you guys recommend for this ratio? I understand many factors come into play when choosing fast/medium/slow thinners. I can tell you that I will be spraying indoors in a dedicated spray booth/room with extraction...

Think I might go with 3220. I've discovered 3606 requires both parts to be set aside after combining/mixing for 15 minutes before you can thin it. For someone like me, a few less steps can only be a good thing.

Thanks again to everyone.

Wayne, Thanks for the help. And introduce myself I shall do! Hi, I am merely a beginner in this field of instrument building/manufacture/assembly. I am partially underway building a solid body electric Telecaster-style guitar. Perhaps "building" is a word that implies too much considering what I am ...

Hi ANZLF, Does anyone here have experience with Mirobild? I know a few of you use and like Mirocat 3220, but I can't seem to find anyone anywhere online familiar with Mirobild 3606. In addition, can the Mirocat experts here confirm whether 3220 (and Mirobild 3606 if indeed anyone's familiar with it)...
