    Lacquer finish Help!

    I am nearing completion of a small project that is finished with gloss lacquer.

    Trick for better water based finish results

    It's more of a cheat really... I mentioned it in the Jatoba thread but figured I'd share separately as well. A little history first: I build drums out of my shop...err... garage...
