I started out posting under scroll saw, finished that part of this project, then posted some under carving then finally the final picture here at the finishing page. Sorry about the blurry image but I get that when ever I have a mirror in the picture. I've been using the Rustoleum 2X Ultra Cover for at least a year now and have turned out enough projects that I think I can give my opinion finally... Lacquer was getting so high I decided to us this and crossing my fingers and now I can say I do believe it is better for me to use over lacquer ....This is a satin finish I used on this carving. My suggestion is if someone is going to use lacquer or this product and wants a flat matte, satin, semi gloss or gloss to do all the first coats with gloss then for the final coat use what you are after in looks. Reason lacquer uses a very fine silica sand mixed in the clear to obtain ones preference and if a person uses five of six coats of say a satin finish then he will end up with a foggy film and thats kinda like driving through Lubbock, Texas in a sand storm.... This 2X goes on much heavier than lacquer so a person can get the spraying completed faster. Also the fumes are way less and clear out much faster..Dries to the touch in 20 minutes on regular day.... My first coat just like lacquer after it sets up, I use 0000X steel wool to rub it down and then the second coat if it still feels gritty.. and yes dummies I use the air compressor and a very fine bristle large paint brush to remove up should not be there!!!!! This carving was sprayed on a turn table so I spray each piece from four different directions then I repeated this 3 different times....and still have part of that can left. I used satin but it is not real dry yet and some of the shine will go away when completely dry. The colors were applied with a 2 stage air brush, Paasche .
