    Lacquer & Fisheye

    I am utilizing lacquer (spraying) as the finish on a chest. One of the panels has these small sunken areas ranging from 1/32 to 1/8 in diameter. I was told this is what is called fisheye. I don't have a pic and am not sure I could get one to come out. I have really no idea what to do with...

    Brush-On Lacquer

    Does anyone have any experience with brush-on lacquer? I can't seem to keep bubbles from appearing. The lacquer is being applied over some walnut with a bristle brush. Thanks for any suggestions. tv

    shellac over lacquer

    Hey guys I have a problem! i usually use shellac when I finish my cedar boxes, but this time I came up with the bright idea of useing laquer and don't like the finish. SO the question is can I spray shellac over the laquer or do I need to sand it all off before I spray. Thanks Donald

    Lacquer over Oil/Poly mix?

    Is it OK to spray Lacquer (from a can) over an oil/poly mix first coat? I have very little experience with Lacquer and when it is appropriate to use. Thanks in advance, Mitch

    Sprayed some Lacquer

    Finally broke the seal and opened the Porter Cable PSH1 box today. Did a little clean up with some thinner. Went to Lowes and got a 1/4 fitting that ALMOST worked (I really hate the way comp air fittings are all just enough different to not work with each other). Ended up stringing together...

    White latex paint or water based pigmented lacquer

    After spending 7 hours spraying a large project with one coat of primer and 3 coats of latex I can not help but wonder if I could do it with less coats and get better results using a white pigmented water base lacquer. I recall John talking about it in his finshing class and was wondering if...

    Lacquer on a pig :) + prototype

    Well, I took some advice and ignored others and decided to finish up my ill-designed box. I did attach the feet, despite being a little thick 'cause they took a long time to make and I didn't know how I would otherwise utilize them. I lowered the handle, and unless you look close you can't even...

    Wax over lacquer???

    I am finishing up those 4 heart boxes that I made last weekend. I have applied many coats of satin spray lacquer, rubbing out between every 2 with 800 grit paper. I have always enjoyed the feel of a wax finish, and am considering it for the final step. But I am worried that the wax with affect...
