Deft Interior Clear Wood Finish Gloss Lacquer, 12.25-Ounce Aerosol Spray

Deft lacquer (now renamed to Produce) is based on nitrocellulose rather than acrylics so it goes on smoothly, sags little, and dries quickly and hard. The spray nozzle rotates to give you some control over the spray pattern. Next to HVLP lacquer, this is the best I have ever found, and it is worth paying the premium price.

I have been using this lacquer on many projects and all you need to do is PUT ON LIGHT COATS!If you MISS a spot or think you did not get enough on a spot-DO NOT try to spray RIGHT ON IT!JUST come BACK with your SECOND spray and make sure to go over that missed area!after you do 2 coats --LET IT SIT, for about 20 minutes( if it is tacky to the touch- just wait 5 more minutes)Then-- take a piece of a brown PAPER bag-- and rub( yes- brown paper bag piece)-- let this sit and then, spray 1 more coat (this coat is OPTIONAL)!JUST don't stand and FLOOD a spot, because you missed that spot! Remember to keep moving and lite coats!Deft Dries SO MUCH BETTER and MUCH quicker than ANY other lacquer I used!After you are done, look at your project over next few days-- it WILL have a a harder, clean, bright look( i used GLOSS)!Deft looks BETTER WITH TIME, and NO POOLING, as it does self level!Make SURE to WEAR A FULL MASK and goggles( safety first)This was used ONLY on OIL and SOLVENT based projects-- this is OIL based Lacquer and I have not used it on ACRYLIC paint!

Sure - this is a nice deep gloss finish. Not high gloss, but a great, classic wet wood finish. Just like you will see on any Gibson or Fender today.A single can will easily cover a LP style guitar from rough wood to finished product and this is multiple coats with sand downs between coats. Just make sure you use a wood sealer first and Deft makes a great sealer as well.But the absolute best feature of this product is the spray nozzle; the best I have ever used in an off the shelf spray can. Good consistent results, no spits, no clogs. All the way down to empty. Just remember to always invert and clean between applications and you will get a consistent 3" fan. Same results with multiple cans now.

Great product. Allows for multiple applications and dries quickly with a smooth, glossy finish

The item received is not Deft. It is the updated version with the new and terrible sprayer nozzle- the product is supposed to be the same, but it is not - attempting to return as the premium price is only worth it for the old nozzle.

I woodwork. I don’t spray finish. I really don’t like finishing so I watched a million videos and Deft seemed to be a ‘go to’ for a lotta people so I got some. And I’m glad I did. Easy to apply. Easy to use and a fantastic finish that will last.

I've uses Deft gloss finish for years and it's always worked great. The finish went on smooth and didn't require any sanding between coats. However 2 out of the 3 cans I recently purchased worked very poorly and the spray had blotches in it that made the finish rough instead of nice and smooth as this product used to. Something has changed and I'm sure disappointed in the way the finish turns out. The items I was spraying I've had to use acetone to completely remove the finish and try over and over again to get the cans to spray smoothly with very little success. I think Amazon should notify the company about this.Thank you, Mack

This product leaves a nice hard finish which has a little depth after 3 coats. I was able to spray the coats about 45 minutes apart with no sanding in between, even in damp weather. I found that it took a few more days to really harden though. It took me 3 cans to spray 3 coats on 5 degree-sized picture frames. I'm giving 4 stars because the finish becomes much less even with little bubbles when you get about 2/3 into a can. So I was unable to use the full can. Overall, I would recommend this product and will buy more to use again. Just make sure to really shake it for a minute (no marble) and turn upside down and clear the nozzle as instructed before spraying.
