---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Grant, I'm pretty sure it is Lacquer and you need Lacquer Thinner for it. Have to mix it with the thick stuff you have to make it thinner and keep it well sealed when not in use.Keep adding thinner as it gets thick. I only do 4-5 sets a year and the quart I got from Schaff lasted for years.Don't know a test for Lacquer but I can always smell it ---don't like it.
