I bought a couple StewMac kits... a tenor uke and a dreadnought. While I'm a ways out from finishing either, I thought I'd gather a comprehensive crowd-sourced opinion on finishing supplies.
For the uke, I'm thinking about Tru Oil. I've refinished cabinetry using tung oil and I have practiced French polishing on some decorative woodworking. All that to say: I'm not afraid of the volume of work.
But I could be persuaded to try a spray lacquer...
...especially on the dreadnought.
I only have a 2.5 gallon air compressor, so is spraying out?
StewMac recommends 4-6 cans of their ColorTone aerosol. Is there another brand I should consider from my local Home Depot? Or is that all "furniture-specific" and too heavy for an instrument finish?
Thanks in advance! I'm sure I'll need more help on the structural parts, but right now I'm dreaming
