Tiny jar of clear lacquer?

Clear nail polish, perhaps. Or model-airplane/hobby-shop clear coat, perhaps. Might help to know what sort of lacquer you have on the thing you are touching up.

Perhaps Oxford's Nitrocellulose touch up pens, if you want a marker format from a name most people seem to trust that isn't $tewMa¢?


Not affiliated and haven't even used them, but we also haven't even sorted if you have nitrocellulose lacquer or some other type of lacquer on your item to be touched-up.

Its a Kamaka Uke.
Back needed a tiny sliver to repair a crack and now I need to blend over a bit of finish.
I am going to try some shellac to see if it hides it, but I’m pretty sure the original finish is lacquer.
