The paints and lacquers Creek Chub used are illegal today because of VOC and lead content (I think). As a kid we had lacquer paints called "airplane dope" that would make you dizzy, but some guy in Brockton bought them all up and you can't get them anymore.
Nitrocellulose Lacquer was a standard (and very tough) furniture clearcoat until recently. I suspect the old lure guys like Pichney and Musso used something similar, but burned out the ozone layer and cost Salty all his hair.
