I just had a phone message from someone who said they wanted me to clear coat over a signature on their guitar. I don’t know who signed it or what kind of marker was used. Can I spray nitro over a signature without the ink running? If anyone has done this I would appreciate some advice. josh |

Be aweful careful Josh! It will probably work as long as the nitro is not allowed to run. Most markers are alcolhol based and lacquer thinner is a great way to remove them from unwanted, kid installed, locations. Try it on some scrap and see what happens, lay down a couple of coats, sign your name and then clear over it. Good Luck! Shane |

Depending what and where it is .. put a clear piece of mylar pickguard over it .. 2 things - the signature might run - or who knows what the underlying finish is, and whether anything will really stick to it for any length of time. |

Tony, I like that idea! I think the guitar is a fairly cheap electric and I have no idea what the finish would be. The pickguard idea would probably be the easiest solution. |

If its a cheap electric, its not likely nitro, likely poly of one sort, and nitro wont stick that well, especially if you cant rough it up. |
