Questions & Answers
I am putting this on a wood table that has several drawings using bleed proof markers. Will this cause bleeding brushed on?
Trish, happy to help! Lacquers, including Rust‑Oleum Watco Lacquer Wood Finish, contain stronger solvents. Because of this, we recommend testing in a small, inconspicuous area first, as some marker types may react when exposed to solvents. It’s also important to allow the markers to fully dry before testing. For best results and added protection, we recommend applying three coats. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
What’s the shelflife?
Happy to help, Paula. Rust-Oleum Watco Lacquer Wood Finish has a shelf life of 3 years. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
can this be sprayed
We appreciate your interest! Rust-Oleum Watco Lacquer Wood Finish can only be applied using a good quality bristle brush or applicator, it cannot be sprayed. If sprayed it will cause the coating to dry before reaching the surface leaving an undesired texture on the surface. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
It will need to be thinned but yes it sprays beautifully when properly portioned with thinner.
Can this be used on metal
Kim, happy to clear things up! Rust-Oleum Watco Lacquer Wood Finish is suituble for use on only interior wood projects including furniture, doors, cabinets and paneling. If you would like to talk further with us about your project, we can see if there is another product we can recommend. Give us a call at 800-481-4785. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Is this food safe?
Thank you for reaching out, Donald. While Rust-Oleum Watco Lacquer Wood Finish provides a durable finish for wooden surfaces, it is not a food safe coating. This should not be applied to any surfaces that will potentially make direct food contact. The only food safe product we offer is Rust-Oleum Watco Butcher Block Oil. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Watco-1-Pint-Butcher-Block-Oil-in-Clear-241758/316130833 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
Do you use just acetone for thinning, or is there any alcohol?
Carl, we are happy to help! Rust-Oleum Watco Clear Lacquer Finish cannot be thinned before applying. This will alter the formulation and hinder both the performance and curing of the lacquer. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
What is the percentage of nitrocellulose?
Carl, this is a great question! Yes, Rust-Oleum Watco Lacquer Clear Wood Finish does contain nitrocellulose. For further information on our ingredients, including percentages, please refer to our safety data sheet; this information will be located in section 3. https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/b5/b50bebf2-5fd7-4c4a-826e-02a3bf54ac0c.pdf - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
