It’s very difficult to obtain a smooth and regular layer on a simple wooden board. This lacquer starts to harden within seconds so it’s impossible to brush 2 times over the same area. I recommend to use the spray version instead.

Thank you for reaching us, VK! Optimum temperature for use of the Rust-Oleum Watco Lacquer Clear Wood Finish is 55-90°F and the relative humidity is below 85%. As you're likely aware, lacquers tend to dry incredibly quick, so temperature is critical, but it's also helpful having a good quality brush for application. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 1 Rustoleum

    I used the Watco lacquer over the Varathane weathered wood accelerater. It resulted in a beautiful satin finish. I would definitely recommend the Watco lacquer.

    Exactly what my project required, easy to apply and fast-drying. Two things to keep in mind however - the fumes are VERY strong and pervasive, and factor in the cost of a new brush with each application because cleaning one isn’t worth the effort.

    I have used many times before with excellent results. Like the satin finish and the depth that it gives to the wood

    Terrible Product
    This is so thick it is nearly impossible to get a uniform coat. Completely ruined a project. Had to resand and use Minwax. Do not buy!

    Hmm, that does sound right. Matt! First, make sure to stir the Rust-Oleum Watco Lacquer thoroughly before and during use. For the best results, take care not to over brush, or apply with a roller. Apply using a good quality bristle brush or applicator only. Allow the finish to dry 2 hours and then recoat. Recoat only when the previous coat has dried clear and feels hard. If any coat has dried more than 6 hours, you'll need to lightly sand with 220 grit sandpaper before recoating to avoid brush marks. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5 Rustoleum

      Did not like this product compared to Minwax. It seemed like it had no substance or results. I applied three coats on a wood project and I could not even tell I put anything on it. Very disappointed!

      That's odd! Please keep in mind that additional coats of Rust-Oleum Watco Lacquer Finish may be needed on more porous or older wood surfaces. If you have further questions or concerns, please give us a call at 800-901-0411 to talk with us!
