I know some tiers make thier own head cement. I was wondering if anyone had recipes for the head cement. Thanks for all the help guys....:thumb:

There's so many cements out there now why bother?

I use Min-Wax Polycrylic Lacquer. It's a great water based product that you can get in any good hardware store. It dries hard and clear.

damn, I have gallons of that stuff laying around. Never thought about using it. What do you use to thicken it? Or do you just use it straight?

Lacquer is pretty common. Much cheaper than other options and works great. I have 2 small head cement jars with needle applicators. I keep on fairly thick and the other thin for everyday heads. The stuff tends to thicken a bit over time. So I just let one stay a little thick and use it for special purposes. The other I thin as required.

Thanks for all the info guys. i would like to use something rather than just head cement because I am not happy with many commercialy made cements. Not to mention I am, one of those people who are always searching for a better way.

So an laquer will work? Is there anything I need to watch out for when buying the stuff?

Pick up some thinner for the lacquer when you buy the lacquer. I had min-wax so that is what I started with. Never had to replenish it yet.
