Dutch Boy® Clear Gloss Lacquer is a nitrocellulose, solvent-based, high gloss lacquer varnish that dries to a hard, durable film.
SURFACE PREPARATION: New Wood Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from dust, dirt, and other contaminants. Hammer all nails deep enough to apply putty. Sand rough wood until smooth then dust off surface before painting. Make sure to use kiln-dried wood.
Repainting Old finish in bad condition should be stripped. If old lacquer finish is in good condition, sand surface. Make sure to clean and dry surface before coating.
