How do I Prevent "Orange Peel" with Lacquer?
#8

Pre-Catalyzed Clear is already mixed up and sold in a rattle can. For me, it just seems to cause a lot less problems. It almost never fisheyes, and orange peel is very rare (and when it does happen, it's my fault). I like the Deft nozzles better, but the pre-cat Mohawk lacquer seems to have less issues and is very easy to use.

That's a very good photo, but it's still hard to say what it is without seeing it in real life. I would say that is orange peel on your cabinet. A couple of those larger circles might be very, very minor fisheyes. It could be the lacquer, or it could be from some surface contamination. If it were mine, I'd consider two options - Spray another very heavy coat and let it flow out and see how it dries, or I'd sand it smooth, coat it with some spray sanding sealer and then try to clear it again. Maybe someone else has a better idea? ..I know Steve Davis is an outstanding refinisher, so hopefully he will offer some advice.
