Thanks Drew for taking the time to make this video! It's everything I was hoping for, and more, in explaining how to apply pre-cat lacquer. I will use this video as a reference video, and will probably watch it a dozen times or so over the next few months. Thanks again for your easy to understand guide and explanation of your finishing technique Drew! Have a Great Day Buddy!
Bear Creek Woodworking so glad you liked it
Great instructional video, straight to the point. I have always used conversion varnish, going to try this on my next project. Thanks
Nicely articulated video, awesome detail...……………………….a big thumbs UP!
Brilliant tutorial. I’m thinking I can tackle lacquer spraying now. I’ve wanted to learn for many years. You’re lesson makes it seem less complex than I originally thought. Thanks for being thorough. Plus, great tip for keeping sprayer tip clear. Liz McLaughlin, Minnesota
Of all the HVLP spray videos for lacquer, this is by far the best one. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for the great information. I will be trying your method. Good seeing you again.
Joel Romero thank you Joel! Let me know how it goes.
Thank you for posting this very informative clip. It's been really helpful and educational (nice, clear instructions and tips) for me to watch as I'm a complete newbie/hobbyist with regards to spray painting and this has assisted me in my preferred choice of product (from so many options) and how I'll be able to move on from this point. Great job. Cheers
Thank you for this great video. What I thought I Knew about spraying was all wrong. I learned a lot. I tried your was and what a difference.
Dude, great video!! This is exactly what i needed. Been researching lacquers to step up my game! Thanks!
Make sure that if you use a pre-cat lacquer that you use a pre-cat or a vinyl sealer. This will provide you with a premium water resistant barrier under your coats of lacquer. If you use a standard sealer combined with a pre-cat lacquer then you will experience microfractures and you’re finish that will result in blushing when it comes in contact with water.
Thank you for the information in this video. It was to the point and professionally delivered. One of the best videos on CZcams period.
Just got my Fuji 5 platinum delivered, very excited to follow all your tips!! Thanks for sharing the valuable information!!
Question. This Fuji 5 platinum , will it spray lacquer and oil base products ?
@@mava1040 Yes, I sprayed lacquer with Q5 on my wooden projects!!
Hi Drew. Nice to see you back here with another video. I learned alot with this one on a area i don't know anything: Finishes !!!
Thanks and keep up the good work !!
It certainly is a learning curve but once you figure it out and how it works for you in your area it is a nice bit of arsenal to have in your repertoire.
I appreciate the details and very specific how to's of your video. Thank you!
One of the better videos I have seen out there on applying lacquer finishes. Clear and concise. Re: Blushing from trapped moisture. I have found that a heat gun on low setting, or a standard hair dryer works well to conquer blushing.
Very nice that is a good tip I might have to try.
Youuuuu are awesome bro !!!!! Your extra information makes you unique!!!!!!!!
Hi Drew! Nice to see you back! No need to apologize about being away for so long. I think I speak for everyone when I say that the quality of a video is more important than the quantity and you hit this one out of the park. I’ve been trying to do some research on pre-cat and the information available on the web is very difficult to understand. You explain it in a way that I finally get it. Thank you!!
Glad you like it! Appreciate the comment.
Great and informative video, and your work looks fantastic! Thanks!
Awesome video. Thanks for the tips on blushing and getting imperfections out
Welcome back, amigo! Great video for your comeback. I will be using this technique in the near future. Thank You!!!
Frank Thornal awesome. Thank you very much.
Right on brother! Glad to see another video
Thanks man.
Hopefully soon we will see another video from you Jeremy!
Glad to see you back missed your videos
Thank you Keith.
I am a 28 year professional painter and I must say this video was AAA plus very informative and well made. Thank you so much for your time and effort.
Well thank you very much that means a lot coming from a veteran of painting like yourself. There are still some points I wish I would’ve remembered to touch on but there will be a follow up video on this because there is a project that I need to address so there will still be some lessons to learn
Awesome video. I learned a ton!
FranklinWoodWorks Thank You!!! I’m glad!
This video was /is great It answered a lot of the questions I had about spraying lacquer that I haven't been able to get answered, like how to care for your gun between coats, and is a sanding sealer necessary (some say its not), thinning ratios etc very well done. Time to get my FUJI sprayer out of the storage box and put it to use.
Forgot to mention: Thank you for posting this superb video.
This was all awesome and informative video! Thanks for your efforts!
Very clear, easy to understand and thorough. Thanks for taking the time to make this great video, it's really appreciated. :-)
+Gwyn Roberts Thank You!!! So glad you liked it!
Great video. Thanks for the information.
Good info. I've just started spraying my own projects. Lacquer will come later, but it will come. Thanks
Thanks a lot I appreciate it. Good luck in the future with your lacquer spraying.
Excellent video! Thank you for demystifying so much for me!
You are so welcome but if there’s one piece of advice that I can tell you that I have learned the hard way since making this video is to use a vinyl or a pre-catalyzed sealer if you choose to use pre-catalyzed lacquer. Also in the video you noticed that the pre-cat lacquer that I pointed to was cab acrylic which is not pre-cat lacquer. I just accidentally grabbed the wrong can in the video. Pre-catalyzed lacquer and cab acrylic are two totally different animals.
Awesome video, great information. I have been looking to using more lacquer finishes.
Make sure to get a precat sealer if you use precat lacquers. Big problems arise if you do not.
Oh... by the way! Thanks for making a video. I miss watching them!!!!
Thanks Brian!
Great video! Good info, will be following!
Thanks a lot Barry I’m glad you liked it. I will note some thing, the pre-cat lacquer that was visualized at the beginning of the video was cab acrylic. I accidentally grabbed the wrong can but I did spray pre-cat lacquer on the doors. Also, if you use a pre-cat lacquer make sure that you use a pre-cat or vinyl sealer. Very important!!!
Great Video, Thank You!
Thank you so very much drew! Great video
So glad you liked it Mark. Thanks for the comment.
This was one of your best videos yet. Like to see more on finishing. Like maybe a cabinet that was a color.
William Burkel not a bad idea
Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for
Awesome. It has been a game changer for me for sure
Stellar work.
What a fantastic video. Thank you very much.. exactly what I was looking for. Spraying on a finish for wood.
I am working on a 2.0 video based off of the same premise but there is some lessons learned from when I first started spraying to now
@@rhwoodshop awesome man... loved the first video.. looking forward to the next one with some lessons learned. BTW I hope it'll come before I do my first attempt at spraying precat laquer.
Great video Drew. I’ve been wondering what the difference was between lacquer and pre-cat lacquer. Your point of starting with sanding sealer to increase smoothness of the finish was interesting. I’d never heard anyone point that out before. I also liked your suggestion on where to start on a piece because I’ve seen many videos showing people who start in the middle of a piece and at the bottom.
Those are just tips that I have picked up the hard way when trying to learn how to spray lacquer properly. Everyone has their own way and this way seems to work best for me. Thank You!!!
Very good Finishing video! Thx!
This is gold, man. Thank you.
Thank You!!! I have an upgraded video on this too
Great job explaining everything
Thank you, you may check out my most updated video on lacquer spraying because there’s a few lessons that I’ve learned since I made this one
This is an awesome video. Thank you!
Thank You!!! So glad you liked it.
That one tip behooved me. Thanks!
Which one was that
@@rhwoodshop I think it was at the 10:50 mark, or thereabouts. I actually just got a kick out of hearing the word "behoove" in a sentence! Thought I'd try to be witty but may have come out that I was being a smarty-pants. Didn't mean it that way; I enjoyed the video very much. Good info and good delivery. Just subscribed. Thanks!
Reid Abercrombie That’s funny, I actually forgot that I even said that word in the video. I liked it. No offense taken
So that cloudiness is caused from humidity! That explains a lot I thought I got a bad can of lacquer. Not used to this much humidity as we have here in the south. Thanks Drew learned a bunch!
Glad it helped you understand your issue
I think it's awesome you put your whole gun in the solution to clean it. Seems reasonable as long as you lubricate it. Good video!
Excellent video. Just what I was looking for.
+Russ Martin so glad you liked it Russ
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very informative video dude! Thanks!
Thank you so much Dave I greatly appreciate that.
Great video!
Bookmarked. Good stuff!!
Thank You!!!
Fantastic video. Great job man.
Thank You!!!
Yay! A video!
😂
really nicely done - you slob me on precat lacquer - new to wood working and have tried spray on poly which i found kind of hard to work with - and - if i made a mistake i couldn't repair it for hours and hours
Thanks for the inspiration here in the Caribbean well have the lacquer that comes with the caterlist ,I do use sanding sealer first but now after looking at your video I am gonna start doing three coats
Let me know how everything turns out when you do. Thanks a lot for the comment.
Did it today it's fantastic looks like it's straight from the store thanks alot and keep the builds coming ...
Great video very informative.................... Thank you
Very informative and useful, thanks.
You’re Very welcome and thank you
Dude! Excellent video.
Great video! Thanks
Excellent video
As usual for you, a well made and informative video. Too bad you have been off air so much. Sure miss them. Hope your financial picture has been clearing up for you so you can. Well done. BOOOM!
It’s not so much the financial picture that prevents me from doing this it’s mainly because my projects are very redundant and every time I film something I lose money because it requires double if not triple my time. Since all the projects that I do, like I said, are redundant, filming each one would get really old to everyone.
Fantastic video! Learned a lot
So glad to hear it thank you very much Ashley
Great video, I have referred to it a few times. Cheers from Canadian praires
I plan on doing an updated video on this because of some lessons that I have learned since this video. Keep your eye out for that
Thank You!!!
10:34 lovin the karaoke technique, reminds me of spring football practice
Wow Drew! Thanks for that detailed in depth explanation of the process and products you use for finishing! Extremely well articulated too! 👍👊 ... I know this is a video I'll definitely reference myself and recommend to others who are looking to apply a finish!
Well, thanks a lot Fred I appreciate that wonderful comment. It’s nice to know that even though I’m out of practice on making videos, I’m still doing a good job.
AWESOME video.
+Rob Gibson Thank You!!! Glad you liked it
Thanks ....great presentation ...and i learned a lot.
Thank you very much, glad you got information from it that you found useful!
SO HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Good video, thanks.
Great Video Most Definitely Going to Try it Out!! I've used a lot of Automotive Finishes in the Past Going to try out the Lacquer its a tad bit cheaper! LOL
Today is my 1st day on furniture shop. I'll subscribe to your channel sir.
Welcome! Glad to have you! Enjoy the journey.
Well done . Thank you. 🇺🇸
Thank You!!!
Good info Drew Thanks
Hey thanks for the comment Mike. Glad you liked it.
è un piacere rivederti, ho sentito la mancanza dei tuoi video 👏👏👏👏, Megaboom
Thank you so much!
@@rhwoodshop 👍
Your best video to date,
Wow. Thank you
Thank you!
Do as I say, not as I do. Got it! All joking aside, nice job! Very informative vid!
Thank you
Nice result 🙂
Greetings from Taiwan
Kühn thank you Kuhn!!!
This video answered EVERY one of the questions I had regarding spraying lacquer. Now I know exact how I'm going to paint my cabinets, and now furniture from now on. We ALL truly appreciate this video. Thank you so so much! BOOM! 💥
Awesome video man! 👍 I use lacquer all the time but I still learned something! Thanks very much for sharing this!
Awesome!!! Glad I helped in slightest bit. I’ve done my job then.
Thanks
Thank you for your video, as others pointed out, it’s very informative. Any chance you’d ever do a tutorial on pre-cat lacquer high-gloss finish? Hint.. hint.. I’m considering refinishing a black grand piano and I could use all the help I can get, thanks!
Same process with couple extra steps after final coat applied with polish, rub out and pumice and wet sand paper
Micro fiber towels. Lint free. Has changed my clear coat life.
You're a pro! Have you ever considered using a continuos air respirator system that supplies fresh air, while spraying? I have one that uses a remote filtered blower with a 75' hose.
Yep need a hvlp sprayer now
It’s a rabbit hole, be careful.
Rock-n H Woodshop I know I took a little break but now I’m getting back in full force
This is an HVLP sprayer. I’m not sure exactly what comment you are referring to but the video featured an HVLP sprayer.
GREAT VIDEO !!! I am making some wooden lockers and want to use Pre-cat laquer but have been advised to use Conversion varnish because according to some of my research...Precat cant take any type of moisture. decisions decisions smh
Video was excellent. I have been interested in getting into spraying the pre cat. All of my searches show it clear. This works well over stains. I have some cabinets I want to be white or gray. Can this Pre cat be tinted and if not, what type of color paint would you spray the top coat over.
Good video, thanks. I fully understood why you start at the top on a vertical surface to avoid over spray. However, To follow the same principle on flat surfaces shouldn't you start next to yourself and work away from you towards the opposite edge. In your method he gun is pointing towards the already sprayed surface.
Great video... thanks for sharing!
Quick question... what is the expandable base you have under the doors?
It is called a centipede sawhorse. You can find it in my Amazon store through this link. www.amazon.com/shop/rhwoodshop
Love the video. I just started a few months ago to stain, paint and finish at my shop. I didn’t hear you talking about pressure, tip size and amount of material, basically the gun set up for spraying. Can you help me with that?
Supper video
I’ve had your video booked marked for a long time. Thanks for the info. I think I’m about ready to spray. Question…I am about to assemble some drawers using either birch or sanded plywood. They will have painted faces. Should I still consider using the sealer before the lacquer? I’m also glad to see you do this outdoors. I’ve done a couple of projects in my garage and I hate the cleanup and my wife doesn’t like not parking in the garage.
Great info. I want to refinish my 15 year old kitchen cabinets. Do you need to apply sanding sealer prior to spraying the pre cat lacquer? Thanks
The best thing to use is conversion varnish and u can also get it tinted to any color. Sherwin williams doesnt sell it out of the normal walk in stores, prob 1 or 2 in a state depending on population or size of cities in state. It is for the commercial and industrial coatings. Plenty other paint manufactures that sell conversion varnish, i mentioned sherwin williams because that is what u have there. Conversion varnish is a much better finish and lays down like glass. Yes you can thin and add retarder to lacquer but i have yet to see it come out as good as conversion varnish with no effort other than normal prep.
Very informative video
I am building an outside pavilion and am installing tongue and groove pine on the vaulted ceiling. I am going to follow your steps. Might be overkill for this ceiling, but one that will be easier to clean and seal. Thoughts ????
NICE TUTORIAL BRO....
If I want to use pigmented lacquer or tinted lacquer, over oak cabinets with polyurethane finish, with primer should I use? and no matter what I have to apply clear lacquer for better protection? thx.
OK if you plan to use lacquer then your polyurethane finish must be removed completely. The reason why is the base for polyurethane is either oil or water and lacquer is a solvent-based and those two do not mix so your locker will not adhere. If it was me I would either make brand new doors and finish them the way you want or paint your doors with a latex enamel or acrylic enamel and then spray it with a clear cab acrylic. I hope I read your question correctly and I hope this helps.
Hi Drew, great video, just one question. How do you combat pressure spots on the finished side when you have rotated the doors so quickly? As you said thre lacquer isn't fully hard for 28 days.
2nd question, does adding the retarder thin the lacquer that it would cause sagging when spraying a project vertically?
Very helpful, thank you. What is that stand you are using to support your work outside?
It called the centipede
