Hi Diane,<br>
Varsol must be a Canadian type thing, for some thing you guy's call some
thing else. Two great Nations separated by a common language.
( Churchill I think.)<br>
<br>
<blockquote type=cite cite>None of the paint stores I went to know what
Varsol is......<br>
<br>
I bought a good quality gold enamel and one of those fill-it-yourself
spray bottles. It looks much better <i>except for the
fish-eyes</i></blockquote><br>
Using shellac for the first coat should prevent the fish eye.
The oxidization is probably attacking the finish from below. Just a
calculated guess. Some of the more expert finishers could probably give
advice in this area.<br>
I have done one plate in this manner. The grey market Yamaha just 2yrs
ago. The finish seems to be holding up OK. But more time will
tell. Weather it will eventually eat it's way through again, I do
not know. But I do know shellac can be a very effective
sealer. Leave for several days to harden, before applying the finsh
coat.<br>
Hope this may help.<br>
Regards Roger<br>
