   Dave,

   You can always try mixing in Retarder which slows the drying process.

   DAVEESPOSITO,

   Depends somewhat upon what your definition of acceptable is. Sounds a bit like our former Pres., doesn’t it?

   Deft is an example of a brushing lacquer and is primarily so because of the added retarders to slow the drying process and allow the finish to level more before it dries. But there will be other factors at play also that will determine just what kind of a result you will get. Temperature and humidity levels to be exact. The higher the temps in which you apply the finish, the faster it will dry allowing less leveling time. Your best results will be obtained if you apply the finish on a moderately temperatured day with moderate humidity levels. However, you’ll likely want to sand and rub out your finish anyway and so it will likely turn out just fine so long as you’re willingly to put in a bit of extra effort/elbow grease during this process. Plan on applying at least two coats.
