[QUOTE="Stefan, post: 53602, member: 793"] Yes, you're right. The solvents in the lacquer and enamel will cause the clear lacquer to crack. The lacquer cures much faster than enamel does. You have to wait for the enamel to cure properly before you can apply clear lacquer over it. the curing process can take a few weeks to a month though. That said, a trail run should actually be done to see weather the solvents don't cause any further reaction. If I remember correctly the solvents used in enamels release some alcohols(not sure if it's ethanol) that causes the lacquer not to crack. The same goes for sanding and polishing the enamel. It has to be cured and not just dry. Polishing and sanding the next day will result in a f-up. You have to wait a week at least, hence I mentioned patience! [/QUOTE]
