This Professional Clear Satin Lacquer produces a silky feeling, hard-wearing finish in just two coats on most wooden surfaces. Dry and handleable in 10 to 20 minutes, it is possible to finish elegant pieces in under an hour. Drying time may vary depending on ambient temperature and humidity. Two good coats of this satin lacquer should provide a suitably solid finish on most wooden surfaces. It will conform to grain and texture patterns exceptionally well without hiding them.
