Premier Art claims this is not the case, but you'd expect that.  I think
Steve K. found the nozzles on the Lyson product were hard to get a good
coating with.  That is one of the critical issues for glossy paper, and one
thing the U.S. PremierArt Print Shield has that is very good.

In the U.S. the Lyson product has a good nozzle, but it may be a different
product than the European version.  Shipping the solvent based sprays is one
of the practical problems.  So, they may have them produced locally.  In the
U.S. the PremierArt and Lyson products appear to use the same can, labels,
etc.  But, these companies are all going to larger companies for their
products. It could be that both simply use the same U.S. producer.

It's the nozzle and technique.  Once you get it down, a product with a good
nozzle is reliable. (Be sure to have goggles and a respirator if you can't
work in an open garage).

Yes.  The Lascaux does a poor job of bronze removal.
