Minwax Brushing Lacquer 155000000, Quart, Clear

love this stuff (though the price seems to be going up...i get it for $13 at lowes now.) but yeah, its great. Dries to touch in 5 minutes not 30, but leave over night/24 hrs to off-gas and fully cure then rub with brown paper...silky smooth. Its very forgiving. You do have to be even handed with it, you can correct easily with more coats and the more the better it seems, but 3-5 light coats and you're good. takes less than an hour total. never blushes, and if it does you can add a quick coat and it will go away, or you can blow air on it (i use a ryobi mini leaf blower to speed drying even more) and it will usually dissipate. has a good spray nozzle also with a fan pattern that you can turn horiz or verti. it doesnt spit or splatter or clog.highly recommend over other brands.

I used this for my guitar neck over some StewMac colored lacquer. It turned out really nice. It dries quick, finish is good quality, and nozzle is good quality. Would definitely recommend.

I have used this on 3 guitars, and with each one I get a little better putting it on and getting better results. I actually had a couple runs in the first guitar, yikes, but all my fault. Put it on thick enough to look glossy and no more. But I was able to sand it out a couple days later and spray again. I put about 20 total coats on my guitars, sanding every few to smooth out the orange peel. The finished results look very great all the flaws were my own doing, not the product. It goes on consistent and smooth. I'd recommend warming the can in some warm water before using, it seems to spray smoother that way. After the last coat, sanding with paper right up to 2000 grit (automotive stores!) and a polishing compound to finish. This product can give you some awesome results!!Remember this is a nitrocellulose lacquer so you can't put your guitar in a regular guitar stand with the foam on the arms. The foam is petroleum based and will slowly react with the finish, dulling it or softening it. It can get pretty ugly if your guitar sits against the foam. Tip: wrap the foam with black gaffers tape and you'll be good to go!

The price has almost doubled since I bought this in 2019! The fumes given off by Lacquer are NO Joke. This is extremely potent fumes that you do Not want to breath in and fill any dwelling with! The other downside is temperature requirements. Has to be very mild with low to moderate humidity to use. Although spaying on Lacquer is easier, it is a serious mess and the overspray can cause damage to other things unintended to be sprayed. Enter Brushing Lacquer. The same problems with fumes but No problems with overspray and needing a spray booth. It also might need a little more time to flatten but end results are identicle.

Good product. Excellent price.

Best thing, no cleanup. Use a mask due to fumes which are strong.I make boxes with old barnwood and this does not change the color. It also protects the aged wood fibers.A worthwhile expense as nothing else I have found will work.

This product is a good experience. I used up the whole can, without any nozzle maintenance (like cleaning it with acetone after use), except the usual spraying it upside down after use in order to force clean air through it and clear out the lacquer so it does not clog.I am a big fan of its unique (to me, at least) nozzle technology. The nozzle has crenelations around its circumference, which provide some pleasant features:-normal spray from a round-holed nozzle comes out in the shape of a cone, in which the base of the circumference of the cone is spray so thin that it just evaporates into the surrounding air, and is wasted. The crenelations flatten out the base of the cone, so it is directed to, and focused on, your target. The means less waste, plus, a better and more even coat of lacquer.-the crenelations make the spray function softer to the touch, and easier to activate and deactivate.The lacquer is quick-drying, and pretty-much dry to the touch in a minute, and ready for another coat in the 1/2 hour as advertised. When I get the spray all over my hands, it seems not to be messy, and is dry in no time, almost giving the illusion that I do not need to clean them.When the lacquer runs out, there still is enough pressure in the can to shoot useless air out of the nozzle, which confirms you have used up all the lacquer, and none is wasted due to lack of pressure. I am buying more, with the assurance the whole can will be empty, before any of its mechanisms for spraying are kaput, which is quite a disappointment, and happens with other products.

This stuff is so great! I used it to refinish a snare drum. I did extensive online research - it's true nitrocellulose, so it produces high quality results with multiple coats actually chemically "melting" into one another. I sanded the drum to 220 grit smoothness, stained it, applied a coating of nitrocellulose lacquer sanding sealer, roughed it up a bit with 220grit, then applied 6 coats using this lacquer spray, no need to sand between coats. I waited a half hour between each coat, making sure it was no longer tacky before spraying another coat.Great overall results, as you can see in the pictures. I didn't have any trouble with it running - just be sure to do thin spray coats with a nice sweeping spray motion. The tip is adjustable so you can get a vertical or horizontal spray pattern. Once finished, I didn't really even see a need to wet sand it afterwards as I wasn't looking for a wildly high-gloss mirror-like finish. I was able to do 6 coats with one can, although I might have been spraying a bit farther away than I needed to - probably closer to 10-12 inches rather than the recommended 6-10.
