Pre-cat vs Nitro lacquer

[Todd Burch]

OK, for ML Campbell, for pre-cat, the factory adds the catalyst. Whne I buy a gallon, the store hands it to me and I pour it straight into the pot. 6 months shelf life (although I've gone 18...)

For postcat, the store sells me the gallon of finish and a separate container of catalyst. I add the catalyst to the finish when I am filling the pot. 8 hour pot life.

All righty then...maybe it's just different manufacturer's lingo. Sounds like the same idea.
