[QUOTE=turbo411] Thanks for the reply. In a previous thread you mentioned that you spray shellac after the 60/40 wash coat but before the lacquer. What is the purpose of this intermediary and is it required?

[/QUOTE]

The shellac is a sealer gives the KTM9 or nito a better base to adhere to. Some have experiancesd issues with KTM9 over epoxy, Most have not. The seal coat is just an insurance policy. NEVER apply epoxy over shellac. Only apply shllac over epoxy. epoxy will not adhere to shellack well but shellac will adhere to epoxy well if given a tooth (light sanding with 400p or 600p)
