Would like to know what is the basic difference? Also about Shallac. The three different finishes for woodturners.And what gives the highest gloss shine on woodturnings.

Can someone please tell me the difference between the lacquer you find at say, one of the big box stores, and nitrocellulose lacquer? Is there some common example or brand of nitrocellulose lacquer out there? Seriously, I really am scared off by the big words when it comes to chemicals I don't understand...
Thanks,
Bill
Shellac is not very useful on objects that will be subject to a lot of handling.
bill,
any paint store will offer nitrocellouse.....it`s the cheapest stuff they`ll have. about 16 bucks a gal here. stay away from the box stores for finishes!
some paint stores will try to sell you cab-acrylic or pre/post catylized lacquer....learn to use nitro before you move on to any of the hybrids.
if i`m not mistaken the stuff charlie is speaking of is an acrylic? i`ve not tried any of targets stuff mainly `cause i`m in the if it ain`t broke- don`t fix it camp..
