I've used polyurethane varnish and spar varnish for many years. Depending on the species, I use shellac as a filler. Depending on the project I might end up with 5 or 6 coats of varnish with wet sanding between coats. Recently it was suggested that I use lacquer instead. There are a number of threads here talking about catalysts ad so forth, but I'm looking for a good primer "The Idiot's Guide to the differences between varnish and lacquer and when to use each to best advantage.
Has anyone seen that book? Or maybe written it yourself?
Thanks for any input.
