Troubleshooting
Lacquer is not drying properly.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels in the application area, as excessive humidity can slow down drying time. Apply thinner coats and avoid over application.
Lacquer is peeling or flaking.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (cleaned and possibly sanded). Ensure that previous paint layers are well bonded. Allow for complete drying between coats. If necessary, lightly sand the surface before re-coating.
The finish is not even.
Apply the lacquer evenly, avoiding thick coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller. If using a spray gun, maintain a consistent distance and speed.
Bubbles appear in the finish.
Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Apply the lacquer in thin coats. Ensure that the application tool is in good condition, and does not have any defects.
