I tried lacquer thinner, and it did not work. You could try MEK, but at around 10.00 a pint, i just bought more sally's

I don't know, but in place of buying bottle after bottle of Sally's, (you only need one straight to use as a clear coat) buy a pt. or what ever size of High Gloss Clear Lacquer and some thinner ( I Use MEK) and mix it 50/50 or so to put one drop where you finish.

Acetone but don't thin to much as it will start to smear the paint if it is to thin. You can buy Acetone in small bottles in the heath and beauty aid dept. at Wally World. cost about a buck.

Been just using high gloss lacquer and lacquer thinner on my finish and straight lacquer on my head clear coat. So far, so good. Use lacquer thinner.
Looked at MEK in comparison to acetone (lacquer thinner) and just doesn't seem better, cost wise, to justify it's use. They're pretty close health wise when used how we do, but MEK affects central nervous system. Otherwise, Acetone is more flammable. MEK is the better cutting solvent, but nearly unnoticeable in the quantity I or any other jig tier will ever use. MEK stinks worse, ha. Either way, use gloves and proper ventilation.
But def buy the lacquer and one of the thinners, it'll save you a bunch of money, IMO.
