Is this an appropriate unit for detail work such as high gloss clear coating of guitars using water based polyurethane and sanding sealer.

Yes, I think you will find this is an excellent system for your aoolication.

I have only used this for refinishing cabinets and furniture. Have to be careful tho, sometimes it spirts.

Yes, BUT: This is an inexpensive tool in the world of spray painting. You can easily spend a whole lot more. Like almost any tool that I can think of, the results of use depend highly on the skill of the user. I use mine to spray stain on furniture. Not quite sure what you mean by "detailed". You won't be able to paint fine lines, etc. But I can put down a nice coating of stain every time.

I personally have never tried that but I have seen this product - Resin Craft Surface Coat Spray - Fast drying, clear gloss finish/sealer. Ideal for fixing small blemishes in cured resin pieces. I would be interested to see if that works. It is from Environmental Technology.

Will be ok to put a layer of wax sealent or glaze. You need more speed to remove scratches and Swirl's.

I would think so. The adhesive isn't terribly sticky though so painting that first coat might be tricky. I would make certain that if you're sanding first that you clean the dust residue well to ensure the best adhesion prior to coating - and if possible float on the coating rather than painting. I would just be concerned that some of the finer details might get moved by brush strokes.

I don't know anything about what is needed for model painting. However, the unit can be set down to as low as 15 psi output, or as high as 200 psi. I use it primarily for various tires and blowing dust and dirt out of my garage & hangars. I like it because it is really quiet, portable, and well made.

We bought it as part of a Halloween costume. It's pretty thick so I'm not sure you'd be able to use it for detail work ... maybe if you watered it down a bit and had the right brushes / tools?

Probably pretty well. I haven't used it on clear acrylic only on a black molybdenum filled nylon. I used it for marking manufacture dates on the parts I made and it worked very well. All in all the tool worked better than I expected.

even working with a good Polly requires some sealing. a standard sanding sealer should solve your concerns

If your clear coat is similar to an automotive clear coat, then I would say don't use it. The abrasives in this kit are designed for metal and could make your finish worse. This is just my opinion. Ask the manufacturer of the dryer for their recommended solution. Always test an unseen portion of the surface to be polished and view the results under different angles of light.

Yes, I have used it for similiar applications. It will be a little stiff when dry.

Absolutely and I have used it on a number of thicknesses. I am very happy with it.

per the instructions; a polyurethane-based foam adhesive designed for use in water features. By expanding to fill gaps and cracks, it works as a water-resistant sealant

It seems fairly powerful I think it would do the job. Its good for detail work.

I have used the Rotex for bringing up the gloss and knocking down the orange peel from spraying on polyurethane and also on epoxy barcoat finishes. I used it in the rotary mode ending with 4000 grit paper and a bit of water or mineral spirits. I also used the hard felt and soft pads after the 4000 grit, but honestly they didn't seem to make much difference, the 4000 grit was the real ticket. I can't speak to other polishing scenarios, but the Rotex worked well in these cases.

I used water based polyurethane and love it. I used the rustoleum brand in gloss (maybe it's called high gloss). I waited for the paint to completely dry for about a week, and then I applied 2 coats. It went on really easily and looks much better than it did without it. Also now the fridge is very easy to clean. There is not a single scratch or anything. I would highly recommend putting the polyurethane on. The water based poly doesn't smell, dries in about an hour and cleans up with water.

I would NOT recommend using this product for what you are suggesting. Product is very thick, like Vaseline petroleum jelly. I use it around rubber O rings and gaskets with hot tub and swimming pool equipment. Hope this helps.
