Eric, what I meant by my fault?.. it's hard to describe.. there are several ways I have screwed up a finish. 
Mostly, it's hard to get even coats with a spray can. And my lack of patience has me spraying lacquer on damp days, etc... just silly errors.
My nemesis is extra dark walnut. If the surface isn't prepped to perfection, I get fisheyes, orange peel, runs.. for some reason, the darker the toner, the more susceptible it is to problems (at least for me). My solution is to use lots of sanding sealer, lots of time with a tack rag and spray very light coats with plenty of drying time in between them.
Mostly though, it ends up working out..
