 Joe
 One of the nicest parts about acrylic lacquer is they are quite flexible
for some time. The screw holes clean out easily with a sharp counter sink.
Its not brittle and you gotta whack it, or scratch it hard to really mess it
up. Down side is, if you get it too thick the washers and rear aliquots tend
to bury into the lacquer a bit.
Will? ...Hows yer finish on these issues

Will, Excellent write-up. I printed it out to show to my refinisher.<G> Just
wondering how this stuff is in regard to "chipping". I've yet to find any
finish that will resist chipping unless it is less than a week old, (i.e.
still soft ). I've found that using an appropriate counter sink on the screw
holes, right after the initial finishing process, helps to eliminate some
chipping, but ya really have to have all your ducks in a row to get the
plate stuffed into the carcus and get the strings on before the darned stuff
sets up hard. Any suggestions? Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain of
