CrystaLac Brite Tone High-Solids Polyurethane Finish Clear Gloss, 8 oz

Why choose CrystaLac Brite Tone?

CrystaLac Brite Tone is a high solids, water-based polyurethane designed to build a durable, crystal-clear top coat with fewer coats than traditional finishes. It self-levels to a glassy, even surface and resists yellowing, helping colors stay true on wood, metal, plastic, and glass. When used on everyday items or cherished instruments, it creates a hard, protective layer that remains clear over time while allowing natural grain and tones to show through.

Designed for versatility, Brite Tone can be brushed on or sprayed, offering flexibility for different project sizes and workflows. The formula cleans up with water, making cleanup quick and simple after you finish a project.

Key benefits

• Easy to Use & Water Clean-up
• Brushable and Sprayable
• Non Yellowing & Environmentally Safe
• Super Hard & Crystal Clear Protective Finish

Where it shines

Use CrystaLac Brite Tone on a wide range of surfaces to protect and enhance beauty. On musical instruments, it preserves color and grain without adding a dull layer. It also provides a resilient gloss for tumblers, bar tops, and functional furniture, keeping surfaces looking vibrant while standing up to daily use.

With its water-based formulation, the finish is relatively low-odor and easy to clean from brushes and tools. The crystal-clear result helps maintain the original appearance of your project, from the finest wood grain to the smooth lines of glass or metal accents.

Application tips

• Prepare surfaces by cleaning and lightly scuffing where needed to promote adhesion.
• Shake well and stir to ensure a uniform, clear appearance.
• Apply thin coats for a smooth, even layer; avoid runs with deliberate, long strokes or controlled spray passes.
• Let each coat dry per label directions before applying additional coats; multiple thin coats build the protective finish.
• Clean brushes or sprayers with water after use; work in a well-ventilated area.

Real-life use cases

Finish a guitar body or drum shell to preserve the natural wood tone while adding a hard, glossy shield. Protect a wooden bar top or furniture piece from daily wear while keeping a clear, true-to-color look. Refresh decorative items like glass or metal accents with a durable, easy-to-clean surface that remains crystal clear over time.

CrystaLac Brite Tone offers a versatile option for hobbyists and pros alike, delivering a protective gloss that highlights grain and color without masking personality. While results can vary with technique and conditions, many users find it suits a variety of projects where a strong, clear finish is desired.
