I need some advice/help. I have always used oil finished (hand applied/rubbed) and have recently begun experimenting with spraying lacquer. For now, I am buying cans but plan to eventually buy a spray gun. I am experimenting with regular lacquer but would probably eventually use water borne products (due to smell, flammability, etc. of regilar lacquer)
My question is: How and what do you use to get the brushed, soft look that I see on many items with a lacquer finish. How many coats and what do you use to soften the look? Please give me as much technique as possible as I have been trying steel wool, white 3M pads, etc. without success.
Thanks,
Jim
