  Grant,  I'm pretty sure it is Lacquer and you need Lacquer  Thinner for 
it.  Have to mix it with the thick stuff you have to make it thinner and 
keep it well sealed when not in use.Keep adding thinner  as it gets 
thick.  I only do 4-5 sets a year and the quart I got from Schaff   lasted 
for years.Don't know a test for Lacquer but I can always smell it ---don't 
like 
it.
