<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9430026, member: 37"]Have had some success with evening out a finish with lacquer thinner this way. It will remove some finish and you may end up with some thin areas. You have to work fast, as your rag will stick to the finish as the thinner evaporates. You also will end up with a very shiny finish when done. Your best bet might be to strip this and start over with a new finish. </p><p><br /></p><p>A side note: I don't know if they have somehow changed the formula for lacquer thinner in the last 5 years or so. It seems less volitile and does not cut the finish as fast as it used to. I find it harder to work with than in the past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
