Is it OK to spray Lacquer (from a can) over an oil/poly mix first coat?
I have very little experience with Lacquer and when it is appropriate to use.
Thanks in advance,
Mitch

mitch, if you've got time, try your oil/poly on some scrap and then apply the lacquer....give it a few days to see if there is any reaction.....
maybe call a paint store like sherwin williams, etc....to see if they can help
good luck | |

I know that spraying laquer over danish oil is not a problem, I would think that you would be OK. Why switch finishes? | |

What is one looking to gain by applying oil under a laquer or poly, as opposed to a stain first or even just applying the laquer or poly directly to the wood surface? Essentially, what does oil bring to the situation? | |

Thanks for all your comments - I should have mentioned I am finishing curly maple and used the oil to make the grain really stand out. It is a complex piece and spraying would make life much easier.
Thanks for the tip (should have thought of it myself) for testing on scrap.

I'd use a seal coat of de-waxed shellac between layers.

Essentially, what does oil bring to the situation? An oil will give wood grain a deeper more 3D look. A laquer or poly finish sets up on the surface before it has time to penetrate. By using an oil then a laquer/poly, you get the grain poping effect of the oil combined with the durability of a film forming finish. The key is to let the oil dry completely, at minimum a week, before applying your desired finish. | |
