lacquer and scratches

If you do not have spray equipment, do not use the deft. This is great if you have a compressor and spray gun, The stuff will dry in a matter of 30 minutes. But if you use a brush, then you do not want to use deft. It dries way to quick to make brush application impractical.

Have you considered using tung oil? I love the stuff, looks great, easy to apply, can be touched up in a mater of minutes, and pretty tough.

I think that maybe he's talking about the aerasol cans of Deft, since that's the only kind that has the be sprayed (though I agree that the regular stuff is easier sprayed than brushed).

To the OP: you didn't say what kind of table, but I'll guess you mean a dining room or some such. In that case I'd use a short oil varnish like Rockhard. Matt

As an aside, Deft does make a brushable lacquer. It will be labeled as such. A retardant can also be added to it to slow up regular Deft for brushing.
