For optimal protection and durability, apply at least two coats. For high-traffic areas or outdoor applications, consider three coats.

Can I use Hemway Clear Satin Lacquer on previously painted surfaces?

Yes, but ensure the existing paint is in good condition and properly prepared (clean and, if necessary, lightly sanded).

Is Hemway Clear Satin Lacquer suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, its waterproof properties make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. However, reapplication may be needed depending on weather exposure.

What is the coverage rate of Hemway Clear Satin Lacquer?

Coverage can vary depending on the surface and application method. Generally, 1 litre of lacquer can cover approximately 10-12 square meters per coat.

How do I clean my application tools?

Clean brushes, rollers, or spray guns with water immediately after use, before the lacquer dries. Follow the tool manufacturer's instructions.

What is the shelf life of Hemway Clear Satin Lacquer?

The shelf life is typically around 12-24 months when stored in a cool, dry place and the container is properly sealed.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
