Well, if you get the point.... I can remember lining up a bunch of stuff (radio cabinet included,)on a dry pretty much windless day and loading up thinned poly to a gun powered by my aging compresser, and blasting away with goggles and a mask. Did 3 light coats and it didn't rain. Takes half hour of time and a quart or so of gas to clean out the gun.

Couldn't and still feel I cannot afford rattle cans of clear laquer, although I recon I could justify it for a smaller set because I am moving slower nowadays and also like shellac for anything that doesn't have a flat top where some old lady (maybe mine) would put a flower pot there. Right?
