The new nitro is so soft that it imprints even after months of curing. The black does look grayer in direct sunlight  than does nitro so I need to figure out how to fix that in rub out.</BLOCKQUOTE>          The gloss lacquer were still experimenting with but as yet no success. These <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">products spray differently and require smaller tip orifice. We are testing another piece today but so far we can't get it to fill from the bottom up and the stuff doesn't want to flow even though it's 50% humidity were using retarder when we spray. I've seen an example of a finished clear piece polished to a shine and it looks great but we yet to be successful. I think it's us but am beginning to wonder.</BLOCKQUOTE>                    Dale Erwin <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"> Greetings,       At the suggestion of Jon Page, I have looked into the PIano Lac finishing.  It all looks like a great improvement over lacquer, so I would be interested in hearing from others that are using, or have tried this particular product.  I am trying to get my refinisher to use a harder finish than the Campbell's lacquer he is presently accustomed to, but people get set in their ways, sometimes. Maybe with several testimonials, I can get a little more traction.   Piano Lac= Pitfalls?  Boons?  Caveats?  Thanks, Ed Foote RPT _______________________________________________</BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
