SCORE

I went over to the Sherwin Williams store today.
They serve the professional and contractor side of the business but it is still a retail store and I have an account.
Because of California's "Green Law" signed by the Guvenator Arnold...it is damn near impossible to obtain anything
that has any amount of VOC or nasty chemicals.
There was no Dimension which is the same as the Napa Cross/Fire product that BuckoCaster is using.
No way to get the catalyzed lacquer I used before on the kitchen cabinets or just about anything else good.
I did score a gallon of....guess what?

Yes siree.....this is the real deal. It is pre thinned and ready to apply and is genuine
High Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer
The Sky_Blue_SparkleCaster is going to be finished in nitro lacquer.
The dude at the store was very surprised that they could sell the Nitro and I think someone made a big mistake and
violated state law as I know nitrocellulose has been banned in California for a lot longer than the Green Law has been around.
The dude was surprised that I could get the Deft shipped into California as it's supposedly banned from shipping and sale here.
So I scored big time. I paid my $29.77 incl tax and took it out of the store as fast as I could before the sales dude decided to check on the legality of selling this.
It's also a High Build version. Supposedly 3 mil per application so it will build a lot faster than the Deft which is probably less than 1 mil per application.
