Chestnut Products AGL400 Acrylic Gloss Lacquer 400ml Aerosol

If you don’t have access to spraying equipment, this aerosol lacquer will give you a great finish quickly and easily. A spray application is particularly relevant when trying to achieve the best gloss finish possible. Acrylic Gloss Lacquer is a high build water based lacquer specially adapted to give the best delivery through the nozzle (chosen to give excellent results without spitting, spotting or clogging in normal use) without, of course, the use of CFCs.

The lacquer itself dries quickly to give a high gloss finish straight from the can which has the benefit of being extremely hard wearing and durable – so much so that it can be used on items that will be kept outdoors or used in areas where moisture could damage other finishes.

Acrylic Gloss Lacquer is touch dry and tack free in around five minutes and hard dry in twenty minutes, ready for a second coat if needed after a light rubdown with a fine abrasive.

The sheen level can be increased if required by using Burnishing Cream (which will not affect the durability) or, after allowing 24 hours to ensure it is completely hard dry, by using it in conjunction with the Buffing Wheel Kit.

This lacquer has been certified compliant with the requirements of EN71-3, making is safe to use on toys and nursery furniture.

LACQUERS

Generally speaking, lacquers are hard wearing and quick drying, designed to give a tough, long lasting finish to any piece of timber they are applied to. We have two types of lacquer, water based and cellulose based, each with slightly different properties and characteristics.

Our Melamine Lacquer is solvent based and therefore very quick drying, usually touch dry within thirty seconds. It then chemically cures to achieve maximum hardness. It’s ideal for smaller items, or with care and a little thinning can be used on larger areas too. Apply by cloth, brush or spray it also comes in an easy to use aerosol.

Our Acrylic Lacquers come in two types.
First is the ‘brushing’ version, which can be applied by cloth or spray too. A milky liquid when wet, it soon dries to a clear coating, touch dry in five minutes and hard dry in twenty. It’s ideal for large or small areas but requires a little patience to get used to it. That is rewarded by a great finish though!

We also have aerosol acrylic lacquers in gloss and satin, easy to apply, touch dry in five minutes and completely dry in twenty minutes. We use different (unbrushable!) resins in the aerosols which give a very hard wearing finish, probably the hardest in our range. Probably best on small items, getting a good finish from an aerosol on something large is quite difficult.

Finally we have Ebonising Lacquer, a black pigmented version of Acrylic Satin Lacquer, designed to emulate the look of ebony without obliterating the grain of the timber beneath it.
