[TheForge] clear coat question

Tue May 27 01:27:01 2003

Moisture causes the milky laquer finish, usually a heat gun will solve this
problem by heating the area up just to the point that the milky disappears.

Be carefull laquer will burn, bubble and peel away if you get it to hot, and
tends to turn brown even before it burns.  Never use a torch, only a heat
gun or hair dryer.
