Ned,
Melissa here from guitarland...I think you are referring to fisheye
flowout? I have some made by Behlen- I seem to remember it has something
bad -like silicone- in it. It is sparingly added to nitrocellulose lacquer.
If you have further questions about it let me know and I'll find out all
about it. I'm not sure what you have in mind?
