Lacquer pullover recipe needed
Hi. Some time ago someone published here a recipe for a pullover solution for NC lacquer. I've lost the ratios. Can someone remind me ?
Also, can anyone tell us exactly what each ingredient (lacquer thinner, lacquer and methylated spirits) does in the mix?
cheers

Leave Roo's out of it!
It's a compound that partially softens an existing finish to remove scratches, haze and other minor blemishes; but not so harsh that it strips it. Applied on a soft, clean, lint free cloth and stroked in one direction only; if towards you then you are "pulling" the finish.
A little bit like French Polishing but without rubbing.

Lacquer pulling
There is a method of pulling lacquer and it is actually done with cotton wool wrapped in a leather chamois and using lacquer pulling liquid and a similar technique to French Polishing with shellac only using the chamois rubber.
The lacquer pulling liquid is poured onto the cotton wool and the chamois is wrapped around the cotton wool to form your rubber then you begin using a circular motion and or figure eight and although time consuming as in shellac,it produces a brilliant finish, but a good quality lacquer must be used.
I learnt this in Tech College in the early 70s when doing a French Polishing apprenticeship and never used it again but I never forgot it the old French Polishers were slave drivers and you were not finished until every little bit of grain was filled.I am not sure if there is such an item as lacquer pulling liquid still on sale these days.

Formula
I think that you will find that it is 50% thinners and 50% lacquer and then add to that volume 10% metho so if you have say 100mils in your mix add 10mils of metho.
To rub it on, use a natural chamois as the outside of the rubber.
