Anyone e here used acrylic lacquer spray as a finish.
Any tips please.
Been asked to make some wooden fruit and have been told that the spray is the best durable finish.
If it is good can you use it on pens instead of ca .

Take a guess
Many thin coats are better than fewer thick ones.

Don't attempt to buff the dried finish on a mop :sob: DAMHIKT

I believe you can burnish acrylic but with lots of thin coats & denibbing between coats, I've not found this necessary.
