You can mimic lacquer with an HPLV sprayer for an air compressor using high gloss oil based enamel. Thin with Naptha instead of thinner for faster drying time between coats. Too much trouble? High gloss spray paint is great when applied correctly as everyone can attest to...probs the easiest route.

I find if I use a wide bowl of water-not a cup, and put it on for 4 minutes and leave it...do not open the door etc...for 10 minutes, the water becomes safe to handle and the steam is trapped in and does its job better. Safer and more efficient.

I did a whole wall in tile for $6 sf and it isn't subway...it's a faux bamboo. It's behind the stove and can handle any amount of unforseen splatter.

In my house growing up.."gentlemen sit to pee" except at a urinal. It was always a simple matter of manners. My brother was never tortured, my parents never divorced, and we need therapy for non bathroom related issues. sorry Josh.

Home depot has yellow powder coated steel ones for $25 each. Top with wood or glass. I compared them to the expensive Tolix version this summer.

When using kraft paper as wrapping paper, I just discovered that heat embossing works really well on it. I just posted about it yesterday here : http://modfrugal.com/2009/12/packin-heat/
