Restor-A-Finish and Lacquer
#3

Thanks, canerods - I hope someone else does jump in, too. I'm pretty new to using lacquers and sure don't want to screw up.

In case they do, my main questions are:

1) I've used R-A-F on a finish and all that remains are some patches where the old finish is not completely gone, but is crackled and very small patches missing. Can toning lacquer be used and blended over the R-A-F?

2) Will a few coats of clear lacquer (applied then sanded each time) fill in and blend the broken spots of finish?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
