I am working on a new cabinet that is round I built the curve with 7 layers of 1/8" bending birch, formaldahyde resin glue, final veneer is macasser ebony. my problem is that all my lacquer has cracked after finishing it there seems to be so many reasons for this I could have put it on too thick, the temperature dropped significantly, from my understanding i thought you could pack lacquer till the cow's came home. Am I wrong? does any one know if it's o.k. to wet sand in between coats with paint thinner? and what if you cut through the finish and some of the veneer absorbs some paint thinner? I've got about 20 coats on it and it looked so beautiful before it cracked I don't want to use stripper I'm afraid of damaging the veneer. so I'm trying to sand it all off so that maybey I could keep these coats as grain filler does anybody have any suggestions
