Refinishing Lighting

[Farrell]

I'm in the midst of yet another stab at piano refinishing. I seem to have
trouble seeing how much finish is going on the targeted surface (the big
runs appear to be a good indicator of too much going on). I have very good
overhead flourescent lighting, but no mid-level or low lighting. If I am
looking upwards at a surface, it is generally easy to see. But looking
straight on or down at the targeted surface it becomes difficult to see the
finish going on. Spraying on black.....er, a, oh, that's right,
pianos....ebony, it is fairly easy to see the finish going on, but on a
natural (red/brown) stain finish when spraying clearcoats, it is tough to
see.

Anyone have any handy lighting tricks that work well. Maybe someone could
shed some light on this? (Ah, Jeeez, that was bad, wasn't it?)
