Need Clear Lacquer or Shellac Tips, anyone successful??
I just got a new 5E3 cab with bare tweed. I know some members here have posted pics of their amps with clear lacquer or shellac and I really liked them.  
 
Could anyone who has done this successfully (meaning no splotching or unevenness) please give me a surefire method for application (would spray lacquer or shellac work?) and drying time between coats. Also, what products and brushes. I'd really like to try spray cans if possible.  
 
I know the clear finish will be more forgiving than a tinted one, but I just want to make sure I get it right this time. All advice would be helpful and much appreciated. Thanks!
