I think in California you can buy lacquer in some counties but not in others
(smog zoning related). My last visit to a local paint store, was just
before it was made illegal locally and I don't remember how far reaching the
legislation was. I am 99.9% sure it is available in Nevada... and probably
sparsely populated states that haven't yet seen serious laws aimed at
increasing air quality.

Matt
