Hey Mike. CrystaLac Company has been producing Brite Tone Instrument Finish for 20+ years now with now problems so far. Here are some photos of a banjo made by Clancy Mullins about 12 years ago. It may need a scuff and another coat to freshen it up a bit now but over all it has held...
Good morning from CrystaLac
I just wanted to jump in here and thank everyone for the awesome response in this forum. I have talked with so many of you personally and the love for what you guys build is amazing. We have luthiers, bowl and pen turners, wood carvers all over the world and the...
Durability
The durability will be equivalent or better then anything else you have used. The longevity is much better than anything you have used. Will never get gummy or yellow. If damage does occur just dry sand the damaged area and re-apply. Brite Tone and all of our products are waterborn...

kit
If you go to www.thecrystalacstore.com, click on the Brite Tone, then hit the drop down on size selection. The last option is test kit. I hope this helps. I have had a few other people ask about that. I will get with the guy and see if we can do something different. Sorry about that.
CrystaLac Brite Tone
Would be glad to answer any questions in reference to CrystaLac Company Products. Waterborne, self-leveling, brush or spray out of the can. UV protected, nearly 100% resin and super high solids. No sanding between coats needed.
Prep
Just make sure they are free of any contamination. We have Brite Tone on glass, and static vinyl decals. As long as you are free of oil, silicone, or wax you should have no problems with adhesion. I always advise do a couple of sample boards to get the feel of the products.
Easy Peasy
No problem. I would if using all 3 products ( Sanding Sealer, Grain Filler, Brite Tone) first apply sanding sealer and Clear wood Grain Filler to the wood portions of the project only. No need sealing or grain and pour filling on plastic and metal. Brite Tone works great on plastic...
The Company been around for over 35 years. Brite Tone around 20 years. We have customers from Martin and Rockbridge Guitars to bowl turners and cabinet makes.
Glad to be in the...
