Dear Don,

I purchased my gallon can late in the summer.  On the front it says 
"Clear-Shield, Water White Lacquer, Clear Semi-Gloss (B44 FJ 10, 
6402-11363).  On the back it says "Volume Solids: 13%, Weight Solids: 
21%, Vehicle: Nitrocellulose Lacquer".

I've gotten good results using as generally outlined by Fred, et al, 
on this list.

Good luck,
Charles
