>I've been reading some of the posts on finishing and the one that sounded interesting was the one using Defd high gloss lacquer mixed 50-50 with lacquer thinner and then buffed dry. Can someone tell me where I can find this Deft High Gloss Lacquer???

>I think the confusion comes because the can is labeled as "Deft Wood Finish". The word lacquer is not used anywhere on the can, even though Deft is a nitrocellulose lacquer.
