did the same thinner spray on the top 6 days ago and I'm level wet sanding with 800 grit.
The spraying worked here also. Cracks melted in.
The before picture shows where the cracks were. Slightly recessed or sunken lines from the lacquer filling in the cracks. The after picture shows it level and no cracks showing. I'm so happy.

The goal now is to complete this guitar by the first week of March so it can be taken to India.

Bad news.
Cracks are coming back.
I'll have to strip the top and a little on the sides and respray.
I gaVe it the old college try. Not this time I guess.
I'll start sanding it off in a few minutes.
