I just about used up a gallon of Cardinal satin on the batch of repairs I recently completed. One was a D28 from mid 60s that had been broken across the heel of the neck, neck block, and sides split around to the waist. Then someone had "fixed" it with epoxy but failed to get it well aligned, then refinished it.

After I got all the structural issues attended to and it was ready for finishing I used the cardinal satin lacquer with a small amount of color added to make it look old, and buffed the whole thing to a low gloss. The customer was well pleased with the result.

Generally I like the cardinal satin but it has to be stirred up every time or it settles out to the bottom of the container. You can NOT leave it in the gun like gloss lacquer. This stuff is really nice for repairing older guitars, as you can selectively buff to make the wear patterns show and leave the satin patina in the places that generally don't get any wear.
