Easy to apply hard wearing lacquer to mimic the look of Ebony
In stock
Ebonising Lacquer is a tough, hard-wearing water-based lacquer. It is heavily pigmented so that when it is dry it emulates the classic satin look of ebony.
Usually applied over a sanding sealer (either Cellulose Sanding Sealer or Acrylic Sanding Sealer aerosol) it is touch dry in about five minutes and hard dry after twenty minutes.
Although heavily pigmented it is not paint and will still allow the grain of the timber to show through, rather than obliterating it completely.
Liming Wax and Gilt Cream can be applied over Ebonising Lacquer to give a pleasing, eye-catching yet very simple artistic effect.
If a bright gloss finish is required from Ebonising Lacquer this is best achieved by using Burnishing Cream on the lacquer which will polish it up to a high gloss.
Acrylic Gloss Lacquer can also be applied on top of Ebonising Lacquer, as can WoodWax 22 and Microcrystalline Wax.
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.
