<p>[QUOTE="joe blowski, post: 9429986, member: 17814"]Hi, this is the base to an early 20th century pier table painted black with a lacquer top coat which has alligatored. I believe it to be lacquer rather than shellac because a test area dissolves with lacquer thinner but not alcohol. Can the top coat be amalgamated by flooding it with lacquer thinner or will it just lift the finish and it'll float around creating more of a mess?</p><p>My alternate plan is to sand part way through the top coat and apply multiple layers of lacquer. Any help is appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]435368[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435369[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
