I Hate Lacquer


I have had a policy of "I do not spray lacquer", that I broke this month. I have been wanting to do some higher end kitchen work using spray stains, glaze, and figured lacquer would be necessary for final product appearance it efficiency of use.

Now, I want to go back to my former policy. I am sick of sweating out lacquer smell (and yes, I wear a respirator with fresh canisters). Anyone having good luck spraying waterborne clears? I have only sprayed Graham's ceramithane once, and it was okay, but it is a little thin for spray work, IMHO, but it feels almost like lacquer.

Any tips or product suggestions for the WB clears on higher end woodwork?

Re: I Hate Lacquer


Did you use just two coats? I did oak once and was run free until I got cocky and put the final coat a little heavier on the doors and had some runs then. I think I did 3 coats on that job (okay, a 4th to fix the doors)

What kind of wood?
