Hi everyone,
I've been steadily going though my Testors Gloss Coat, and hpjust realized pthat I have the better part of a gallon of Lacquer sitting in my shed catching dust. But it's still looks new. Is there really any diffence between the stuff in the small bottle and the stiff in the large can?

Thanks for reading,

Gary

Sorry fellas, I must not have made my point clearly. What I mean to say is that I have a gallon of Lacquer sitting in my shed. Not lacquer thinner. I have a lacquer thinner called "reducer 265". It eats plastic, but I do use it to thin the Glosscoat.

I was trying to ask if my gallon of Lacquer was much different from Testors Gloss Coat. I can't decide whether I'm being cheap or prudent...but part of me really hates wasting stuff.

Thank you for answering,

Gary

I've to come to find out that nothing beats dead flat that Testors flat coat can give you if you "mix" it properly. Basically let the paint settle, you'll have a thick slimey goo at the bottom with a lighter amber clear liquid on top.

Pour out the amber liquid into a clean container, then get some of the goo at the bottom into another container. Take some of the amber liquid and pour it into goo to thin it a bit, then take some lacquer thinner to thin the mixture and then spray it. I've had no problems with it reacting to Tamiya, Vallejo paint or Mr Paint colors.
