Customer Reviews for Watco 1 qt. Clear Semi-Gloss Lacquer Wood Finish

This product ruined my butcherblock. The product dries so fast you can't even strike second brush line, it already dries. Horrible product. Don't make same mistakes as me and buy this lacquer. Dries in seconds leaving the surface uneven with build up of this gooey thing. HORRIBLE!!!!!

I actually had 2 quarts and the first canwhen using it it seemed to be too white and I thought it would clear up when it dried. When I put the brush in a pan to clean the whole brush turned white and was pretty hard to get off. So I thought it was a fluke so since I was on a dead line after resanding everything down again I got the other can and got about 1/2 way done I could tell it was doing the same thing. I was late with the order after having to resend everything down again. Lost $30. This was the worst stuff I ever seen. Now I have 2 quarts of worthless stuff. The brush is ng now I cleaned it the best I could but the bristles air hard and white. So don't buy this or you will be sorry

Excellent paint/primer. I used this on MDF panels. It took 2 coats, but came out perfect. Extremely fast dry time as well

excellent

I prefer lacquer over poly for the drying time and the ability to repair flaws.

I had to finish some cabinet faces… This is good for building up the surface, but you’re still gonna want a pop can to get a perfect glass on your final coat…. this stuff dries so fast it’s hard to not leave brush marks or roller marks no matter how fast you work

To be honest, I did not like this lacquer, I was completely disappointed, I covered it in three layers, it still does not work, the varnish and the oily base are weak

The lacquer was not clear. When I opened the can, there was an opaque white layer floating on the top. I tried stirring and the layer just broke up into white blobs. Tried vigorous shaking, didn't help. Dipped a brush in and the bristle just got coated with white blobs. Very glad I did not apply to my expensive cabinetry that I had spent over 2 months building.

Put 3 coats on a refurbished dining table and it turned out great

I was very surprised to get as good a finish as I got by brushing on this lacquer. Two caveats: use a respirator and "no sanding between coats" amounts to--well, maybe. Light 220 ROS took out all the little nibs that landed on my work and left a great surface.

The best product ever purchased. It worked better than expected

Worked well. Only needed two coats and one sand in between to achieve desired effect.

Laquer dried as fast as I could put it on, so it didn't smooth out

Nice finish, easy to work with...

Dries way to quick to apply evenly
