Well its been awhile since i posted anything so I thought I would post a opnion on what I think of Deft Acrylic Spray finish. I would not have even tried it but when I ran out of Deft Spray Laquer and went to both big boxes I found out that it will no longer be offered for sale in the county (Riverside County, California to be exact). Then checked all around and found it has all been pulled from the shelves - yet they still sell Laquer thinner. Now only this acrylic spray is available from this point on. The salesperson said it would spray the same and you would never notice a difference (of course when asked he admitted he has never personally tried it......sigh...). So, I bought one can and thought i would give it a try.
First - I sprayed a couple finials with it - it does not lay down like laquer - the pattern is horrible - tried different distances - still horrible - So, I gave it up on finials and thought I would move onto to a couple vessels.
Second - Vessels - still crap - pattern it sprays is splattery and coverage over the sprayed areas is poor at best - tried about hallf dozen scrap sample with different techniques and the results were still poor - At this point i have decided to use it for grain filler until its gone.
Personally - I would never buy this stuff again and consider it junk unless you want some expensive grian filler - If it works for you I think thats fine but I still like Laquer
Luckily I can still buy it online and it will ship to me - until someone stops that to......................Dan
