Yes, Jake. It dries to form a natural lacquer. It dries very clear also, and very durable and has good water resistance. It is not tinted at all, although I suppose it could be. Fortunately, with both these radios it won't be necessary. Also, unlike many other finishes, it always has some elasticity, which makes it ideal as a musical instrument finish. I have used it in on a dulcimer a friend made for me which I finished, and also on a violin on which the original varnish, a shellac I believe, had deteriorated almost black, and had to be replaced. Both instruments came out excellent. The violin came to life again, and sounds much better than it did, very clear, mellow, and strong. Of course, the dulcimer was new, so this is the only finish it has ever had. It too sounds very good. By the way, for those who don't know, a violin will never sound better than it does "in the white" before ANY varnish is applied. The trick to a great violin varnish is that it must dry durable but flexible, and protect the wood from any water that might get on it. It also should be applied only enough to provide a good finish, but not so much as to dampen the vibration and muddy the sound.
