- I'd bet a nickel that he sprayed a lacquer. Lacquer has the property
- of drying very quickly.
- If you're _really_ curious, try a little lacquer thinner on it. If the
- finish melts, it's lacquer. If it's polyurethane, though,
- paint thinner should melt it.
- If I were you, though, I'd do it when Kathy isn't looking... :-)
- Or, you could always just ask the Refinisher. Easier and more reliable
- answer, plus it'll preserve your relationship.
