I know they used lacquer for the top coat... not sure about the sealer...

And what slip said is dead on.... different sealers act differently for different woods...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Has anyone ever tried Watco finishing oil for sealer?
Just as BLO, be careful with any rags with this stuff too.


Oil Finishes

some more interesting reading about Watco

I have tried lacquer before as a top coat, it doesn't seem to like the paint though. turns into snakeskin essentially. I guess CCB used special paint too?

The paints and lacquers Creek Chub used are illegal today because of VOC and lead content (I think). As a kid we had lacquer paints called "airplane dope" that would make you dizzy, but some guy in Brockton bought them all up and you can't get them anymore.

Nitrocellulose Lacquer was a standard (and very tough) furniture clearcoat until recently. I suspect the old lure guys like Pichney and Musso used something similar, but burned out the ozone layer and cost Salty all his hair.
