As requested, here is an image. Before this light coat of lacquer from a rattle can, I sanded the previous coat to the proverbial "smoother than a baby's bottom." As this coat was going on, I could immediately see the texture returning. This is very frustrating... Earlier in the week, I was working on restoring the metal frame of a Sonochorde speaker. I ended up sanding the rust from the frame and coating it with this same can of semi-gloss lacquer. I had no problems with the surface texture. I don't get it - what is going on here? The whole surface looks like this.

PuhPow - When/how do you use the Precatalyzed Clear? Do you spray this before you use lacquer, or immediately after the lacquer before it begins to dry?
