How Do You Lacquer

Applying Lacquer Use a bristle brush, preferably of high-quality natural bristles, to apply the lacquer. Be certain to work quickly adding a thin coat, but don’t over-brush your work. You can add additional coats later to even out the finish as needed.

When should you apply lacquer?

Ideally, lacquer should be applied over the base colour just as the base colour has begun to flash off. This is because adhesion is created when the solvent in the lacquer reanimates the still curing colour coat.
