I mean a dried acorn, coated in lacquer. However, I'm not sure I lacquered it enough. So... if the acorn IS the culprit, and the solution is thrown off, what do I do about that? I need to make it less acidic? I assume if that's the case, adding the brightener was just making it even more acidic?

Last night's attempt was an utter failure. I got the putty coating, which peeled/chipped right off when I tried to shine it with a brass brush. It was very brittle and very thinly coated, even after 5 hours in the soup. It seems to get worse with every piece I do.
