Fill any gaps or splits with Morrells Wax Filler Sticks or Morrells Two-Part Coloured Wood Fillers

Application

Always do a small test area before starting any project to assess performance and end result. Follow the manufacturers instructions on the tin at all times.

Optimum application is achieved between 18°C and 22°C with good air movement and ventilation.

Apply lacquer with a spray applicator
Leave adequate time between coats
Denib between coats to aid with adhesion
Do not apply more than 3 coats in one day, as excessive coating weights can lead to cracking or lifting

Spray applicators can be cleaned after use with Morrells Equipment Cleaner.

Consistent !

I always buy my spray finishes from WFD. Good prices and brilliant service - every time. Always reliable and consistent. I have to laugh though. The other thing that is always the same? The bent 5 ltr cans. Every time the cans are buckled in transit. Never a real problem, but they sure look a mess and you can't stack them.

Combined with the basecoat this provides a quick tough finish which has vastly sped up my finishing times and profitability. Definitely ordering more and in different % sheens.

Very good as always

I have used morrells products,since I was an apprentice in the late 60's, I think that says it all

Exactly what I expected no problem to use

Excellent results with this finish

It applies well with a brush and gives a good build of finish. I found that three coats on Oak gave the required results. In a reasonably heated workshop I was able to recoat in about an hour, so no time wasted waiting for it to dry. We seem to be being forced to use water based (acrylic) finishes, supposedly to save the planet, but in my experience they do not give the depth of finish that lacquers like this Morrells product gives.

Fast drying

This dries so quickly and really helps with reducing waiting times on the job.

Morrells laquert

Marvellous stuff. Leaves a wonderful finish. Quite noxious when being applied so a good mask is essential. Also, one has to work fast as it dries quickly. But all in all, we've used a lot of it on European oak and will be using a lot more.

Great finish

The high build of this filled the pores in the wood more quickly! And the final coat needed only a light rub with OOOO wire wool to leave a lovely smooth finish.
