PianoLac was conceived and perfected by a piano refinisher
and is the best ,  no; THE best product on the market.

I just did a spray-over repair on moving damage and was on the phone
with Arthur yesterday extolling the outstanding results of the product.

One benefit of this water-borne finish is that you will not have a
reaction from the old finish as you might with spraying lacquer.
And no fumes.

If it gets any easier, everyone will want to refinish.  <g>
