Dear list,
I have used keytop/acetone for fifteen years now and am now convinced that
it creates more unwanted noise than lacquer.  I am in the process of getting
used to using lacquer now.
1) Why do some techs use sanding sealer instead of nitrocellulose lacquer?
Does it matter?
2) What is some advice you can give me on transfering the lacquer/thinner
from gallon can to a bottle for use.
3) What kind of bottle do you use?
   How long must it dry?
   Do you ever put it on the strike point?
   What ratio?  4:1? 5:1?
   How long will it last after mixing sitting in the back of my truck?

THANKS!!
