Lacquer Spraying Polmac Wooden Boxes
Most woods can be sealed with a proprietary lacquer sealer before applying the finishing coats. However, careful surface preparation is crucial if a top quality lacquer finish is required!
After sealing, 3 or 4 light coats of lacquer can be applied. When dry, each coat is then lightly sanded ready for a final finishing wet coat, carefully avoiding over-spraying which may cause runs.
If runs do occur, the best remedy is to wait until the lacquer has dried. Then carefully scrape with the flat edge of a razor blade, slowly shaving them down. Finally, the runs are lightly sanded and re-sprayed as necessary.
When moisture in the air becomes trapped in the lacquer finish, 'blushing', which is an unsightly blemish that looks like a white foggy haze, may occur. This can be avoided if the humidity does not exceed 65 % when spraying.
Each spray coat should be lapped by 50 % and the spray path kept parallel with the object, as swinging the spray gun back and forth can produce uneven coverage.
The flow of the lacquer from the spay gun should be adjusted to achieve a smooth, even spray pattern.
