As a point of comparison, you have probably already done this experiment, but as a user of the Deft laquer sanding sealer, I would say that it takes maybe about 6 coats to get an equivalent quality finish to your 3 coats of Brodak. Deft be cheaper in cost per oz. than Brodak in larger quantities, but requires more labor to get that nice finish like you achieved here.

Would be cool to see a family/fleet photo of all your rockets that use this same classic nose cone/nozzle. Do you have them all yet?
