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.

Dry time
I have tried several layers. When I put on a thin layer it seems to start setting up and or drying. Not allowing to lay down or fill in.

I have already put one full can on my 6" X 10ft hard wood board that I will probably not be able to correct and...

Good product, inconvenient to use
I forgot how inconvenient it is to use a lacquer instead of polyurethane. Longer dry time, brush cleanup with turpentine and the whole house smelled strongly for days. Next time I will do it in garage or outdoors and with a throwaway brush.

Lacquer application
Would Not RecommendI’m having a really difficult time with this lacquer. Seems to go on tacky and leaves streaks and brush marks? This inconcistency leaves an “orange peel” effect every time. I don't believe it was from the stain. After the second coat completely dried, it was still reacting this way. Could not have been caused by the stain.

Good finish but darkens color.
Would RecommendI like the coating. Takes several coats but nice to not have to sand or polish between coats. The lacquer picks up some of the stain which is frustrating; darkens the color so be careful.
