To make lacquer for leather using nitrocellulose and coconut short oil alkyd resin, first dissolve nitrocellulose in a suitable solvent like acetone or ethanol to create a clear solution. Then, mix in the coconut short oil alkyd resin in a ratio that suits your desired finish, typically around 20-30% resin to the nitrocellulose solution. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution, and optionally add pigments or dyes for color. Finally, filter the lacquer to remove any impurities before application.
it depends about the project or application you require as nc or nitrocellulose is very fast drying and higher prices with slightly better look alkyd i prefer as it takes much time for drying so i can apply easily and cheaper price so if u paint in a store and make quick loading of materials go for nc for outdoor bug projects go for alkyds hope that helps
I wouldn't recommend it. Some of the chemicals in the alkyd will dissolve the latex and the alkyd won't "stick". It's best to remove the latex using laquer thinner or xylene first.
a paint binder or paint vehicle made by reacting coconut oil with a polyhydric alcohol such as pentaerythritol or glycerol and then reacting the resulting mixture of monoesters with phthalic anhydride
Yes, the water borne latex paint manufactured today can be covered successfully with nearly any finish imaginable, including an alkyd primer. However, if possible I would exchange the alkyd with any water base primer/sealer. Costs less and the fumes aren't as offensive.
Primer made with alkyd base.
Traditionally, alkyds are found in solvent-based paints that must be reduced with paint thinner or mineral spirits. "Waterborne alkyd" is a generic term to refer to an alkyd resin that can be used in a water-thinnable paint. Because alkyds are not miscible with water, a chemical modification is sometimes used to produce a hybrid alkyd resin - often acrylic/alkyd or urethane/alkyd - that is compatible with water. These hybrids are often categorized generically under the term waterborne alkyds. A pure alkyd can be emulsified in water using appropriate surfactant combinations. This type of surfactant-stabilized alkyd emulsion has been sometimes referred to as an "alkyd latex." Different resin manufacturers use varying terminology to describe waterborne alkyds with the terms alkyd emulsion, alkyd dispersion, and alkyd latex being among the most common.

Lacquer thinner (any containing strong solvents like ketones , xylene, toluene, etc) will damage any paint, including clearcoat. A single pack acrylic clearcoat is most vunerable(thinners will destroy it.) , and 2-pack urathane is more resistant, but will soften on the surface and lose its gloss if wiped with lacquer thinners. Thinners for alkyd enamels is fine. It is a mild hydrocarbon solvent found in wax and grease remover, and won't damage the paint.
Yes, an interior alkyd primer can be used to prime decoys.
The solvents used to thin alkyd paint can vary as much as the painters do. However, most references point towards using regular paint thinners such as lacquer thinner. However, usually more than 10% is needed. ChaCha on!

RDCO stands for "Resin Ductility Control Oil" in Alkyd Resin. It refers to the oil component in alkyd resins that helps control the ductility or flexibility of the final product. This oil component plays a crucial role in determining the overall performance and characteristics of the alkyd resin, such as its drying time, hardness, and adhesion properties.
