Lacquer is a great product for most applications where a film finish is required. I’ve been a professional woodworker/luthier most of my adult life, and the one thing I really like about lacquer is how forgiving it is to use. Between coats, all you ever really need to do is sand it really lightly to get rid of the little “tits” that get stuck in the finish. Lacquer will melt the previous coat and make a really strong bond, so if you remove the little specks of dust, it lays down incredibly smooth. It rarely requires anything heavier than 600 grit between coats. Even that is pretty heavy. The longer you let it sit, the harder it gets. If you ever want a super shine, let it sit for a month after many coats, and then cut and buff just like you would a 1:1 car. As long as the clear is thick enough you can buff it to glass without burning through to the color beneath. Also, fun fact, I have the exact same wall desk as you do in your office. Great minds…

Great knowledge on using lacquer. I just used some for another project and it really does return a great finish when you're able to build up those layers.
