Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The lacquer provides a glossy, professional-looking finish that dries quickly, allowing for multiple coats in a single day without sanding. However, users should be cautious of the strong, toxic fumes and use the product in a well-ventilated area while wearing a respirator. Overall, the lacquer is an effective and efficient option for finishing wood, particularly for refinishing projects, though some users had difficulty achieving a completely smooth, high-gloss result.

Not Good
Would Not RecommendDoes not flow out, dries to quickly and tends to orange peal. Probably best sprayed. Deft is the best brushing lacquer. Used it for years. Unfortunately it is not available in my area.

Professional results
Clear high gloss- perfect for my custom made hickory vanity. 3 coats did the trick
Verified Purchaser
Even, quick drying finish
Would RecommendThe produce applies easily with a brush, seems to self level and dries quickly enough to allow multiple coats in one day. On the "down side" you should be prepared for the lacquer odor which can be pervasive.

Eastern Red Cedar
Would RecommendI have thus far applied only one coat. So far the results are great. Despite the instructions, I used both a brush and a foam roller due to the area needed to finish.
Looks great, but left brush marks.
Would RecommendLoved how easy it is to use and the quick dry time, but no matter what I did, I could not remove the brush marks. I used the brushing lacquer on a table top, and was able to wet sand to make it look better. Maybe more directions on technique/use of retardants (or resource page of best practices) would help.

Minwax clear brushing lacquer
Would Not RecommendI’m having a really difficult time with this lacquer. Seems too thick? Goes on inconsistent and results in the “orange peel” effect every time.
