Where to find Nitrocellulose Lacquer
Been on a bit of a tear (or is it terror) with French polishing but want to go back to an ol faithful for the next couple projects. In Canada, USA and the UK I used to use NC lacquer a lot but haven't used it here. Any suggestions as to a specific supplier (not just suggesting the auto industry...) that I can buy it from at a reasonable price (that might be a stretch considering this is now the post covid era of the opportunistic gouge). Probably gonna need 4L at least...

Is Mirotone a NCL ? They have a few types.
I tried some thinner bases stuff but something was wrong and I got terrible blushing white problems with the sanding sealer during the winter. Never got around to ringing the rep to solve it I just gave up and went back to trusty Oil based Wattyl.

I've used the Mohawk, but only in spray cans, actually I was using it today to finish a box. It provides a beautiful finish and a little goes a long way. But it is expensive.
You've got to love the very short drying time, sand after 30 mins. 
It's no trouble to get 4 coats on in a day. If time is short it's pretty hard to go past.

It's been a lot of years but I seem to recall winters, especially in Canada was hard on spraying lacquer. I seem to recall it was a white fog in the finish. Might have been water readily forming in the lines. But I don't remember what we did to fix the finish. Though warming the shop helped to stop it from occurring. Originally Posted by auscab

Mirocat PC3220 is the closest thing I have used to a true NC finish. It's fantastic stuff. I use the slow thinner to give it time to level out, as I'm not the greatest spray painter.
