What did you mean the lacquer "crazed"?

I vaguely remember reading another member's experience with it. However, I think he used a spray urethane/high gloss . . . don't remember the stain color but he seemed to have the info on that too. When I get there, I'll ask Hunter to look it up for me, if I don't find it on my own.
Crazed just means thin cracks going in all directions. I think i was even warned that there was a strict limit to the build depth for that lacquer, but alas I didn't believe them.
Actually found this not-very-professional writeup I did some time ago (on now-defunct blog I just use for storage), think it's still accessible: Automotive wood restoration « The sad mechanic exercise
