Hi Newton - While theoretically this is possible, this would only be true if the finisher was in such haste that he literally "piled" on multiple coats of lacquer without adequate dry times between coats. In a normal spray schedule, the finish can be safely rubbed out within one week (some even do so within 48 hours, although I would not recommend it) with no noticeable shrinkage after that point . You can use any rubbing lubricant you wish.... oil, water, mineral spirits, naptha, etc. with no harm done to the film. In 30 days, it is hard to imagine the film still having a "soft belly", unless there was total disregard for prudent finishing practices. Mark Potter bases-loaded@juno.com
