So I've been trying to get a smooth lacquer finish on the guitar. I'm using Mohawk M610-1406. I keep getting pore spots, dimples, bubble pockets, it looks like someone took a toothpick and dotted it. it's hard to explain. It's all shiney and nice after spraying but dries weird. I've sprayed thick, wet sanded, added thinner and Cardinal SB-09 retarder. No matter what I do it pops up when it dries. More retatder? Will it buff out?
