I need an expert opinion. I make hand carved serving trays out of basswood and Eastern white pine. I use GF dye stains to color my trays. I then spray them with four coats of Deft
(nitrocellulose) lacquer from an aerosol can. I then apply paste wax and hand rub it out using OOOO steel wool. I am pleased with my results. So.......my question is this: Should I continue using their aerosol cans or should I switch over to using a compressor with a HVLP spray gun?
Would I get a better result? Would it be more cost effective? Would a have to get into thinning the lacquer before spraying? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
