Rustins G Shield Electro Smog Shielding Paint 500ml

I use this instead of the Stew Mac brand to shield the cavities of electronic guitars. Pickups cavities and the electronics cavities on the guitars that I build. This stuff is great. It dries in 30 minutes and you can apply another coat. The Stew Mac shielding paint requires 24 hours of dry time before you can apply another coat. So it works great for one, and you can have the shielding finished in an hour and a half instead of 3 days. I’m not sure about the complaints of it being messy. I’ve never had a problem, and it’s not rocket science to put it on. Just use an arts and crafts paint brush. It’s water soluble so it will wipe right off of your finish with a rag and water. It’s really that easy.

I have never used any shielding products before. I was aware that some guitar manufacturers use shielding paint in the pickup and control cavities. I have seen YouTube videos of guitar demos that noted the presence or lack of shielding on particular models. I decided to buy a can to treat some of my guitars. I started with my Epiphone Les Paul Junior Billie Joe Armstrong. I applied three coats to the pickup cavity. I didn't have time to do the control cavity yet. Application was easy. I cleaned the brush with water after each coat. That was nice! Once I reassembled the guitar, I tried it out. I did notice a small reduction in noise. To be fair, the control cavity isn't treated yet, plus the floor lamp next to my amp has a CFL bulb in it. I will give it another try with proper diligence to the details. The shielding paint can holds plenty of product for many electric instruments. It is a good investment for your collection of guitars.

Great product. So much easier than copper tape solutions which has been my method for a few years. I found this product easy to use and it continues to save me time. I highly recommend Rustins G Shield paint.

The lid came off while shipping and got everywhere. As far as I can tell though, it is a good product.

The product is great. Amazon doesn't know how to pack liquids. Throw the can in a box and crunch up a foot of brown paper. The loose can blew open, Two returns because of crap packaging from Amazon. First one they sent a replacement right away. The second one they hold my money until I drop both cans off. Will not send another. I know, do as you do and don't fix your problem. Customer service in the USA is non-existent. It's my fault - The customer suffers.

Dries quick, works well, what else do you need.

This solves all your problems

Not impressed with this product but it does work You just need to overcoat it

Dries quickly, and I know it works because it shorted out the signal on my guitar where I accidentally applied it, contacting the input jack.

Facile d'emploi, cette peinture est parfaitement adaptée à l'usage qui en est géneralement fait, à savoir dans mon cas son application dans la cavité d'une basse électrique. Fait le job. Un peu couteux par rapport à ce que c'est, aussi agréable soit-elle à l'emploi.

I was dubious about it's effectiveness in shielding a guitar, the alternative being foil, I can say without hesitation, it 100% works, if this can tame a Dimarzio SDS1 noise levels to zero then that's proof enough for me.I also completely shielded the pickguard with aluminium and added a ground wire to body and vol pot , apparently if this isn't done then the paint is ineffective. Tip, decant it to stir and use, you'll thank me later, I applied three coats as per instructions, I masked the edge of the cavity, if you do get it on the poly around the edge you will find out like I did, it doesn't dry so you will need to give it a wipe, three coats used half a tin .

A little bit seems to go a long way. A tiny spot on your fingernail seems to be capable of covering most of your finger. Use disposable gloves. Went on easy enough with 2 coats. Left to dry for 24 hrs and then a quick spray with clear gloss. Will see how effective its shielding properties are once re wiring is completed.

It works and is fairly easy to apply, but it never really dries and gets EVERYWHERE and it is hard to clean up if it goes on wood If you use for shielding guitar cavities like I did, IT WILL RUIN YOUR WORK, don’t use it
