Lookin' good Icon_thumbup I'll have to give CrystaLac a try someday.

"This is after two applications of CrystaLac, sanding, application of lacquer sanding sealer, sanding, then two more applications of CrystaLac..."

Do you think you could have gotten a smooth surface without the lacquer sanding sealer in between CrystaLac applications ?
