<p>@eddie6string Oh yeah, that was it. Sorry, my mistake. Like Mark says, it is very expensive and it’s not good to hear that it’s not compatible with other finishes, I get enough of that already, I wouldn’t want another in the mix. 😂 </p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>We use all kinds of finishes here but the UV one is supplied by 'CUREUV'</p>
<p>https://www.cureuv.com/products/ps-uv-curing-system-guitar-finish-starter-kit</p>
<p>We got the larger system a good few years ago now - when we were making 40-50+ guitars a year - not sure if we could justify the cost nowadays...</p>
<p>It is an expensive system to set up - you need the special high powered UV light as well as the actual cans of grain filler/finish etc...</p>
<p>Took us a few goes to master it...not compatible with other finishes etc...can be problematic.</p>
<p>I would advise against it unless you are a lottery winner or planning mass production! You will see for yourself when you add up the set up costs...</p>
<p>I'd suggest mastering traditional techniques first until there is enough work to justify the huge outlay.</p>]]></content:encoded>
