Moving forward with the idea that this is unusable and no longer sold (the
only places I've asked don't have it, but have something else "just like
it"), what would give as good a finished (no pun intended) result as Deft?

Deft is still sold but yours is probably still good.

Deft is little more than solvent based lacquer with some butyl
cellosolve in it to provide good leveling characteristics when applied
with a brush.

If there is a good seal on the can, you should be fine. There should
be no skinning or clumping.

If it seems a bit thick to you, mix in a bit of slow lacquer thinner,
or butyl cellosolve, which can be had from a good paint supply but is
expensive.
