I primarily use Deft lacquer which has a really nice adjustable fan spray nozzle. Also, gloss contains cellulose nitrate like they used back in the 30s. However, only Loews carries it in my area (Chicago).

Ace hardware only has the less volatile semi-gloss and satin. Home Depot switched from Deft to Minwax a few months back which is about 50% more expensive Icon_sad I have not tried it.

Menards carries Watco lacquer which costs less than the Deft, but not as good IMHO.

Good luck,
Bob
