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
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
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 the information in this video. It was to the point and professionally delivered. One of the best videos on TH-cam period.
Nicely articulated video, awesome detail...……………………….a big thumbs UP!
Of all the HVLP spray videos for lacquer, this is by far the best one. Thank you for posting this.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
I appreciate the details and very specific how to's of your video. Thank you!
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!
Forgot to mention: Thank you for posting this superb video.
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.
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!!
Awesome video. Thanks for the tips on blushing and getting imperfections out
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
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.
Youuuuu are awesome bro !!!!! Your extra information makes you unique!!!!!!!!
Great and informative video, and your work looks fantastic! Thanks!
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.
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
Right on brother! Glad to see another video
Thanks man.
Hopefully soon we will see another video from you Jeremy!
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.
This was all awesome and informative video! Thanks for your efforts!
Awesome video. I learned a ton!
FranklinWoodWorks Thank You!!! I’m glad!
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.
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.
Oh... by the way! Thanks for making a video. I miss watching them!!!!
Thanks Brian!
Great video. Thanks for the information.
Stellar work.
Great Video, Thank You!
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!
Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for
Awesome. It has been a game changer for me for sure
Thank you so very much drew! Great video
So glad you liked it Mark. Thanks for the comment.
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
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!!!
This is gold, man. Thank you.
Thank You!!! I have an upgraded video on this too
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
Excellent video. Just what I was looking for.
+Russ Martin so glad you liked it Russ
Very informative and useful, thanks.
You’re Very welcome and thank you
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 ...
Very good Finishing video! Thx!
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!!!
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.
Very informative video dude! Thanks!
Thank you so much Dave I greatly appreciate that.
This is an awesome video. Thank you!
Thank You!!! So glad you liked it.

Great video!
Today is my 1st day on furniture shop. I'll subscribe to your channel sir.
Welcome! Glad to have you! Enjoy the journey.
Bookmarked. Good stuff!!
Thank You!!!
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
Great video! Thanks
Yay! A 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.
Excellent video
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
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!!!
Dude! Excellent video.
Thank you!
Thanks ....great presentation ...and i learned a lot.
Thank you very much, glad you got information from it that you found useful!
SO HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic video! Learned a lot
So glad to hear it thank you very much Ashley
Good video, thanks.
Thank you
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! 💥
Well done . Thank you. 🇺🇸
Thank You!!!
Your best video to date,
Wow. Thank you

Good info Drew Thanks
Hey thanks for the comment Mike. Glad you liked it.
Do as I say, not as I do. Got it! All joking aside, nice job! Very informative vid!
10:34 lovin the karaoke technique, reminds me of spring football practice
Nice result 🙂
Greetings from Taiwan
Kühn thank you Kuhn!!!
Thanks
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.
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.
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
Supper video
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.
Micro fiber towels. Lint free. Has changed my clear coat life.
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
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
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.
Would love to see your process for painted. Planning a bunch of built ins in a new home.
The process is the exact same except of using pre-cat lacquer I use a pigmented lacquer in between the sealer and the pre-cat. So my process would be sanding sealer then a pigmented lacquer of the color of your choosing times three coats then a coat of pre-cat lacquer maybe two if you so choose
I’m just telling you this now because I may or may not have the time to do the video before you do your built-ins
Thanks for the response. So are you lightly sanding between paint coats? Also what about before you apply the pre-cat lacquer over your pigmented (paint color) sanding there??
Kris Carter Only if it requires it. Sanding my sealer is what gets me my super smooth finish that and proper application of spraying the lacquer. Keeping the gun at a respectable distance from the surface anywhere between four and 6 inches gets you a very smooth application of the lacquer. If you find your lacquer coats are not smooth then a light sanding can be performed. This is going to take practice. My first time doing this was not perfect but the more times you do it the better you will get. Do not get frustrated if your first attempt does not come out like mine did on the video.
@@rhwoodshop been really trying to research to see how restoration hardware and high end furniture makers get that really matte finish. It seems so thick
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?
Awesome video. Your info is so helpful. I learn a lot. The doors look awesome. What kind of lumber do you use for thr back?
Thank you so much Kim. The doors are made from solid alder. So the backs that you see are several pieces paneled together and the frame is on the front side
Rock-n H Woodshop Greatly appreciated! I love your plans too; goona buy at least one. Please keep up with more videos: 2k poly, barn door making, even non-wood working topics, you'll be great tuber!
Thanks a lot Kim I appreciate that. I actually have some barn doors that I have to make here pretty quick which I will be shooting a video on. I appreciate your high vote of confidence in me. I’ve been doing TH-cam for about seven years. I had to lay off for a couple of years while I got my business off the ground but now I’m back doing weekly videos and I am on my way to 100,000 subs. Hopefully will get there before the end of the year.
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.
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.
Drew great Video I’m getting ready to do a live edge slab for a table top and was thinking of lacquer but wasn’t sure it would be a good finish for that would you recommend it or something else thanks and nice to see another video from you love your channel
A pre-cat lacquer would be perfect because it withstands a lot of abuse but it has to fully cure over the 28 day timeframe before it can be hard as nails like that.
Rock-n H Woodshop also you mentioned the paint lacquer I was wondering can you get stains and dye the same way ??
Keith Young unfortunately no. They are a different solvents.
Rock-n H Woodshop thank you so much I appreciate it
Very helpful, thank you. What is that stand you are using to support your work outside?
It called the centipede
Man.. I'm really jealous of your facial bone structure.
I followed your directions as closely as possible. Happy with the results! I do have over spray though.
1. How do I correct this issue? (Get rid of the foggy overspray)
2. How can I avoid overspray in the future? (Fans?)
I'd like to show my work, but it won't let me upload a picture. It looks great besides the overspray. Thanks for all the advise. Great video!
Overspray is mainly controlled by your fan diameter. Close up your fan diameter and you’re over spray will be minimized. Basically overspray is atomized finish that hasn’t touched your project.
