Gloss or Satin?
#1

On the 30's Philcos. I currently own 5 30's vintage Philcos. The ones with the original finish are glossy. I refinished one other to a satin finish simply because I liked the look better. The first one I bought had been re-done by the previous owner and it was satin. Currently I am working on a Model 90 Baby Grand. What is the period correct finish? Gloss or Satin? On the Model 90, I want it to be as close to original in appearance as possible without going too far into OCD.
Also, when spraying DEFT lacquer from the can, at what temperature and humidity level is it "safe". Being in Indiana, the warm, low humidity days are going to be few and far between until next spring.
