FAQ's:

Does Minwax® Clear Brushing Lacquer require sanding between coats?

• No. Since one coat melts into prior coats, there is no need to sand for adhesion. Also, since each coat dries to the touch in 30 minutes or less, there is less time for dust and debris to fall into the wet coating.

Can Minwax® Clear Brushing Lacquer be used on floors?

• No. Brushing Lacquer is not recommended for use on floors. Instead use Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane or Minwax® Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane For Floors.

Can Minwax® Clear Brushing Lacquer and Minwax® Lacquer Sanding Sealer be used over Minwax® stains?

• Yes. Minwax® Clear Brushing Lacquer and Minwax® Lacquer Sanding Sealer can be applied over Minwax® Wood Finish™, Minwax® Water Based Wood Stains and Minwax® Gel Stains. If Lacquer Sanding Sealer is applied over stain, it is important not to sand too aggressively. Sanding through the sealer to the stain can damage the color.

Can Minwax® Clear Brushing Lacquer be used in commercial spraying equipment?

• No. Brushing Lacquer is specifically formulated to deliver excellent results when applied with a brush. It is not suitable for use in spray equipment. Minwax® Clear Aerosol Lacquer can be used on furniture, spindles and other projects where the convenience of an aerosol spray is desired.

Directions:

• Apply at least three coats
• After final coat, allow at least 24 hours before normal use.
