1. Surface must be dry and free of old finishes in poor condition, paint, wax, grease, polish, dirt or other foreign matter. Note: Do not apply lacquer over polyurethane finishes.
2. Sand to obtain a smooth, uniform surface. Remove all dust with a cloth dampened with mineral spirits.
3. Apply Minwax^®Wood Finish™ stain or Minwax^® Lacquer Sanding Sealer , if desired, following label directions.
4. Stir Minwax^® Clear Brushing Lacquer well before and during use to rotate the product from the bottom to the top of the can. NEVER SHAKE.
5. Apply a coat of lacquer using a high quality natural bristle brush. On unfinished wood, apply sufficient lacquer to seal open joints, edges and end grain.
6. Let dry at least two hours, then apply a second coat.
7. Apply a third coat, repeating the steps above for each coat. Apply a fourth coat, if desired.
8. After final coat, allow at least 24 hours before normal use.

CLEAN UP: For easy clean-up use lacquer thinner.

COVERAGE: Approximately 125 sq. ft. per quart.

Note: For brush application only. Above dry times and coverage rates are based on good ventilation, temperature of 77° F and 50% relative humidity. Lower temperature, higher humidity, lack of ventilation or application of thick coats will extend dry time. Always test tackiness between coats. Do not recoat if surface is still tacky. Slight ambering may be experienced when lacquer is applied over light-colored stains or wood surfaces. Always spot test on an inconspicuous area to ensure satisfactory results. Minwax^® Clear Brushing Lacquer is not recommended for use on floors. To protect floors, use Minwax^® Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane for Floors or Minwax^® Water Based Polyurethane for Floors.
