I have been trying to get the perfect finish for a long time, and have yet to succeed. I've tried lacquer, poly, shellac, and a combination of a few other things, but I still get get it right.
I was talking to a guy the other day and he had figured out how to get the perfect finish without buffing/polishing. He just put the finish on, and it cam out looking like a piece of polished glass. He won't tell me what it is (he created it, and wants it to be a secret), and I can respect that, but it's killing me that I can't figure it out. He said it is not poly or lacquer, so I have no idea what it is.
Any suggestions? I'm willing to try anything. Also, I've tried polishing lacquer and poly, but I can't get it looking like a mirror. Is there a really good technique that I could try?
Thanks
