I just discovered that McFadden Instrument grade lacquer is no longer available and need to find a suitable replacement. What I liked about the McFadden was the % solids. Made it cover well and had low grain raising.
So far I have tried Behlen Qualalacq, it is no where close to as good, seems to be about the same as Deft. I see that Behlen makes an Instrument grade product, I'll order a quart from Woodcraft to test, it may have higher solids.
If someone has already done the research and found a suitable replacement, I would appreciate a point in the right direction.
I don't make instruments so the other features of this is not important. I just need a good quick build with a hard surface.
Thanks,
Perry
