Clear Satin Finish with no spraying equipment

[ledzepplin6914]

Any recommendations for a clear satin finish to be used without any spraying equipment?

Minwax satin poly, I believe. Wipe on.

Minwax satin poly, I believe. Wipe on.

I used minwax satin on a mahogony body and it turned out perfect. Just wiped it on

1 more question: where can i find it?

lowes....home depot...kmart...walmart.

You can also but the spray on Minwax too.  I have found it leave an almost flawless satin finish if you are looking for a natural look.

I used the aerosol satin nitro from guitar re-ranch, I really liked how it turned out. Check out my VIP, it's a satin-nitro finish, all I did was stain the wood, then seal with the nitro, super easy and it feels and sounds amazing.

Deft or Cabot satin lacquer

+1 deft satin laquer, I like it better than the neck I did in a spray booth w/ nitro...

Will any of the above mentioned ( minwax, Deft, or Cabot ) cause any problems or react badly with LMI Micro-Bead Water based Filler ?
My korina body is filled sanded and ready to go. No finish on it yet.

Thank you!

Hint - most gloss finish is a bit of a "satin" if left unbuffed, while satin is almost "matte" as sprayed.

I liked the aerosol lacquer idea, http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Finishing_supplies/Colors,_tints,_and_stains/ColorTone_Aerosol_Guitar_Lacquers/ColorTone_Aerosol_Guitar_Lacquer.html

I think you'll find that the Deft... or especially the Cabot is a better finish.  Also the Re-Ranch lacquer is good.
