Everyone has heard of Fullerplast right? But what is it, and does it still exist? www.tonyedwardsguitars.co.uk tonyedwardsguitars

I'm really pleased, you're exposing all the Myths that people consider to be "Holy Grails" There is so much hype in guitar history lol

Thank you for the excellent explainer. Errata: Leo Fender was the inventions/R&D guy. George Fullerton was Fender's industrial production manager.

Thanks; I ran into that in the 90's when I was refinishing guitars & couldn't get the correct yellow for Fenders. It was believed that Fullerplast filler was where the bright yellow in 60's Fenders came from.

Great video, and very informative. Thanks! You said that it could be sanded absolutely flat. My question, which applies - no pun intended - to all sealers, I suppose, is how much mechanical "tooth" is required to allow the nitrocellulose lacquer to adhere properly to the surface? Simply put, flat is one thing, and smooth is another. Cheers from Alabama!

You look to be getting excellent results. I think I can see that your hardener is model 0775/00: what is the model of your Sayerlack sealer? I think you said in the video that you use a 1:1 ratio: do you use any solvent, and if so which model and what ratio? Thanks!

So polymer plastics are the only extant plastics, good to know. I was under the impression that acrylic and vinyl and... Idk celluloid nitrate or something... That those were also plastics...

Apparently cellulose is actually a polymer, I didn't realize, but frankly that suits my point even more because my point is this : it's absurd to say that polyurethane is the only plastic and you're not presenting evidence that fullerplast is urethane. You're spouting off the same hearsay as everyone else on every forum. I can say a couple things for certain on the subject. I've seen vinyl used as a wood sealer. Fender was forever using DuPont acrylics for custom colors. If the point of switching to urethane was to make a more durable finish it would be very backwards to start with the sealer or undercoat. I've seen 60s guitars naturally worn thru to bare wood and have never seen a verifiably urethane finished guitar wear thru. Urethane cracks and splits and peels. I have urethane guitars that are doing that right this second. It doesn't really bond to the wood per se, it bonds to itself and whatever it is underneath the 60s fender top coats that's opaque chips more like nitrocellulose chips than it does like urethane chips and it very much appears to be bonded to the wood. My money is on vinyl.
