Pants sticking to bench

[Dean May]

Ugh. I hate sitting on those benches. 

Seems like when I was selling a lot of used pianos that I had some
success with spraying a little more lacquer on the top from a touch up
spray can.

 Varnish may be soft, but as you have noticed, 
not all varnished benches become so soft and sticky.


  I am not a refinisher, and confirmation or
correction
of these thoughts is welcome.

Dave and List:
The finish on the bench is the same finish that's on the piano.  That
has
been lacquer for 50 years (that's a guess).  Lacquer eventually breaks
down
when repeatedly exposed to water and solvents-the one found in cleaner s
and
polishes i.e. petroleum distillates.  The temporary "fix" is another
coat of
polish.
