I use magnashield in white and black I haven't tried the clear. I also
use their wiping stains, I thin them, use retarder and spray them. I'm
very happy with all of their products I've used. From my experience
precat lacquer is the same as spraying regular lacquer EXCEPT some
have limitations on how many coats you can use and the time frame for
recoating. The magnashield doesn't have the limitations. You can learn
more on www.woodweb.com
