Wayne his formula is right on
We sand between coats 320 takes about 4 coats there no way around it even with solvent .I want to switch to General i can get at wood essence in Canada
I won't use imported veneer period .We had separation or lifting which is good to happen in the shop not on site .Water base can be the canary in the coal mine .Always better to happen in shop
I only use Columbia forest products had one seem lift fixed no problem
On vertical i spray with 1.5 tip a trick i use is spray wait 10 mins let it get tacky then spray another coat I do this on the final never had a run .Great equipment at spray gun world
I was fortunate at the airport to work with a master told me more tricks then i can remember .Lacquer yes you can spray blind folded .But polyester is hard to spray like water based
High humidity can leave a haze but goes away after full cure does not affect finish
Oak is a pain if you want a water flat smooth finish use grain filler also great for walnut etc
All finishes will shrink when fully cured
