How to use Waterborne Lacquer

 

Hello,

Today, I want to tell you about how to use water-based varnish/lacquer.

Storage you must protect from frost.

Description:  A range of waterborne lacquers formulated on an internally cross-linking aqueous polymer system.

Film properties are similar in physical and chemical resistance to a good quality A.C. (Acid Catalyst) Lacquer.

Certified to BS6250 Part 3 (Heavy / Sever use).

Thinners:  Use water sparingly because small amounts will thin dramatically.

Coverage:  As a rough guide these lacquers cover an average of 40m2 per 5 Litres per coat.

Actual coverage will depend on your chosen application method.

Sheen levels are: 

85%

50%

40%

30% 

20%

10%

And you can purchase a base coat should you wish.

Application:

You can brush or spray on this lacquer, and this will give you a good durable surface, and when dry you can use a very fine wire wool grade 0000 together with Bees wax polish, rub over to smooth the surface down for an extremely fine finished surface.

This lacquer is best suited where strong smells could be a problem, as this lacquer has little or no smell.

Method:

Apply one coat of lacquer to your surface, brush in the direction of the grain and when dry, smooth down using a very fine sandpaper, press very lightly then apply your second coat and you will begin to see that the grain will fill in very well with this product.

Clean up:

Wash out with water and soapy liquid.

Pack sizes 5 Litres / 25 Litres.

You can also buy this product in smaller tin sizes from most DIY shops.

Once again if this has been of help to you?  Please let me know.

Thanks for reading.
