Chestnut Products ASL400 Acrylic Satin Lacquer 400ml Aerosol

When you need to protect your work but don’t want an overpowering shine on it, Acrylic Satin Lacquer is an ideal choice. With the benefit of an easy aerosol application, especially useful on awkward shapes, this is a hard wearing water based lacquer that will protect whatever it’s put onto, leaving an attractive satin sheen.

Acrylic Satin Lacquer is touch dry and dust free in about five minutes and hard dry about 20 minutes, ready for a second coat if needed after a light cut back with a fine abrasive.

For best results it should be used over either Cellulose Sanding Sealer or the Acrylic Sanding Sealer aerosol.

If you have a change of heart on the finish the lacquer can be brought to a gloss by using either Burnishing Cream or the Buffing Wheel Kit. Or you can simply apply a coat of Acrylic Gloss Lacquer!

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.
