What I call a 'stage finish' is this: Spackle the crazing if it is deep, fine crazing is OK. Deeper dents and scratches fill with Modelling Paste. Lake One is a good material for certain applications. For the finish, use a water based product. I use CrystaLac which I get from McFeely's. The satin black was too flat so I mixed it 3:! with their gloss black. A nice semi-gloss/satin. I have a piano in the shop now with this treatment, it looks fine to many who have seen it, they didn't even know it was sprayed: two coats is all that is needed. Sanding sealer may be needed on some patching. -- Regards, Jon Page
