Thanks for the offer. I was out in the NW 'burbs today and found a couple places that carry Deft semi-gloss and satin, but not gloss. I'm using semi-gloss for this project so I'm good to go.
I wonder if Deft gloss is especially nasty ? Nitro-cellulose maybe

I'll probably need some gloss in the future though, so if you know someone who carries it, I'd be interested.

Just an FYI, They carry the Deft Lacquer at Blains Farm and Fleet. All types and sizes. There is a Farm and Fleet near me in Woodstock and I was there for something else this morning and they had a full selection. Quarts, Gallons and probably 5 gallon pails if you wanted, this includes the gloss. I think there are several in the Chicago area but I'm sure they are all way out in the sticks! My offer stands if you ever need someone out in the sticks to pick it up.

If you have a local place that carries semi-gloss and satin, maybe they would get some gloss, if you asked.

Oh sorry, I should have been clearer. I don't have my own spraying rig so I can only use the aerosol cans. I may get one someday though. They cost a lot less than I had assumed.
I think that F&F in Woodstock is the closest to me - or maybe the one in Montgomery.

Could be - they do have it listed on their website and I can order it direct from there. Really I'm just annoyed because there are about a dozen home improvement and hardware stores within 10 miles of my place and none of them carry the products I like to use.

And then there's spray paint - strictly forbidden inside the city limits. Like that's prevented any grafitti
