How many coats does it take to do the job

It depends on how you are applying the material. If you spray, cut the material 50/50 with lacquer thinner for the first coat. The second and third coats are 70/30 (lacquer/lacquer thinner). Sand lightly after the second coat using 320 grit sandpaper and use 0000 steel wool after the third coat unless you like it shiny. If you use a brush to apply, 2 coats will work. Sand lightly after the first coat using 320 grit sandpaper and 0000 steel wool after the second coat. This has worked well for me. Hope this works well for you!

i whant to apply this on pine(no stain)will it keep the color of the pine? or will it turn it yellow?

HiDefinitely it won't be as white. To give you an idea of the end result, take a damp rag holding water, wet an area of your wood and that should be the final shade. It will possibly be less, but not more. It won't turn yellow unless you add 20 coats on it and if exposed to constant sunlight. You should be fine. That's my opinion anyway, let's see what other say.

Can i use this to seal a chair ?

This will seal a chair but it does depend on what you’re starting off with.

Can I put this on walnut wood for outside use?

It's not listed as usable as an outside finish. I think that it would become milky from the UV light. I would use a marine grade spar varnish or polyurethane instead.

It works well

This is the first time I have used this, but will say it went on very easy, and when it was dry, it looked great. Will be buying this again as I need it.

Great Value

I'm really surprised by the negative reviews and, especially by the one who claims to have 35 years experiance in the wood working industry. I have sprayed lacquers in the wood working industry for many years also, I have used Sherwin Williams and others also, they all are pretty simular in quality unless you want to spend 50.00 per gallon. In my opinion lacquers should be sprayed on, they dry way too fast for brushing, This product dries quickly, sands easliy and, with 4-5 wet coats it has a nice build and looks deep. More coats will even produce a better depth. This product is a good bang for the buck, I buy at Menards for 25.00 per gallon though. If it dries too fast by slower drying lacquer thinner or a retardant.

Quart, not gallon price!

I seen this item and it was a few dollars cheaper than where I normally get it, naturally thinking it was the same as I have been buying for years, a gallon, not a quart. Yes I should have read the description better but the pics looked exactly like the gallons I buy. What a rip off, these are normally about $7.00. Never again.

I bought this and thinned it for spraying. It produced an amazing finish. It smooth, clear and consistent. Recently I brushed a toddler bed I built for my granddaughter. The people who said it wasn’t a good product apparently can’t brush on lacquer. I found it produced an excellent finish. I’m going to buy it again for sure
