Hallo,
des Öfteren ist mir aufgefallen, dass viele Boutique-Amp-Hersteller ihre Tweed-Amps mit einem Klarlack überziehen. Dadurch sehen sie etwas dunkler (vintage-mäßiger) aus und das Tweed ist geschützt. Jetzt möchte ich gerne mein Blues Deluxe mit so einem Lack versehen. Hat das schonmal jemand von euch gemacht? Welchen Lack verwende ich am besten? Wird der Tweed automatisch durch den Klarlack dunkel oder muss ich ihn zuvor beizen? Muss ich was besonders beachten?
Fragen über Fragen. Vielleicht kennt jemand von euch die passende Antwort.
Gruß
Bootsy

Hi Bootsy,
hab keine persönlichen Erfahrungen damit, aber hab öfter in amerikanischen Foren darüber gelesen. Die verwenden in der Regel farbige, bzw. selbstgefärbte Lacke (honey oder orange).
Hier ein Beitrag, der dir evtl. hilft:
How do you lacquer Tweed amps cases?
I remember someone posting detailed instructions on this back at the FDP or TDPRI a few different times.
I'm bored and thinking about doing an aged lacquer on my RI tweed case. How do I do it?
>The choice for "lacquering" tweed amps is Zinsser Bullseye Orange Shellac brushed on although just today
someone told me that it is available in an aerosol spray can. My question is how do you clean the tweed before
applying the shellac? Perhaps you could clean it with spray on carpet cleaner and vacuum (did I just misspell
vacuum or is this the only word in the English language with double "u"s?). I'm not sure about the cleaning but
pretty confident on the Zinsser.
>Bill, you might consider putting together a tweed aging kit, or a shellacking kit of some sort. I have seen the
spray shellac but not tried it yet.
>Here's the "formula" as discussed on the old TDP, and field tested by Bill Hullett: Orange (amber) shellac cut 50/50 (or so) with denatured alcohol solvent, applied with a bristle brush. Multiple coats to achieve the color, and even out splotchiness. Satin lacquer topcoat if desired for protection from alcohol and moisture, and/or to reduce sheen. Brushing splotches could be reduced by spraying, but look fine and authentic. Practice on scrap first... Good china bristle brushes used to be very expensive, now you can find them cheap at the stores that carry Chinese made tools.
Viel Erfolg,
Lars
