Can clear lacquer be used over colors used on wood turnings?

I don't see why not. I have put color on card stock and used clear lacquer. The colors r vibrant. Can u test a small area first? Good luck

You could dye it during the initial mixing. If by inlay u mean filling a void with wood borders then yes. Large pour would require substantial care to eliminate all the little bubbles.

Do you have to clean the inside with a certain cleaning agent prior to 1st use to remove the lacquer inside?

Yes, but it takes a great deal of expertise to get a good match. Many finishes on production furniture are sprayed on with a colored pigment as opposed to stained and then sprayed with or coated with a clear finish. Cherry also darkens with age naturally, so you have to take that into consideration as well. If you how the existing cabinets were finished, it might make it easier to get a decent match.

Don't know, I only used it on unpainted pine. The color changed to an old weathered look within an hour or so when applied to unpainted wood.

I've never used lacquer with mine. I've sprayed a lot of oil based polyurethane and latex paint. Poly is the easiest. The trick is getting your material to the correct viscosity. A little trial and error and test sprays, this gun is easy to use.

You might try rubbing the painted wood with a wet rag to see if it is color fast. If so, the polyurethane should do ok.

I have not used lacquer but I'll seen some one using stain on there fence. That's why I purchased this unit.

Yes. This is the same wax I use. I think it is one of the best you can use on wood turnings and other wood crafts .

I think milk paint can be used on any type of wood...I used it on oak with no problems. If there is nothing on the wood yet, it should go even easier than my projects did!

I doubt it. I believe the intent for use is coat over clean, reasonably sanded and smoothed, and perhaps stained wood. I used it over new oak for my outdoor bench.

Lacquer Thinner. Can be picked up at walmart or probably at any type of hardware store (lowes, ace, home depot).

Yes. No problem. Paint shops might say the urethane clear might not lay properly over acrylic lacquer but it does. Just give your Duplicolor several days to cure to be sure.

When in doubt, always go light. You may be sorry if you do anything any darker. The dark stains any grain too dark for light wood. (For me anyway.) I would suggest trying Howard's Restore-a-finish in Golden Oak. Won't change the color at all and gives a beautiful finish, but is a little more than just a spruce-up shine. This is wonderful stuff. Maybe your lumber company will have a sample. I bought mine through Amazon as I was already familiar with product. Good Luck.

Yes, this product was designed for modern clear coat finishes and works exceedingly well on those. It is also effective on single stage lacquer and enamel finishes.

Not sure. I don't think it will "stick" to the lacquer ruining the finish. If you're really afraid of damaging the finish...or if the desk is valuable, I would go with having glass cut to fit the surface of the desk, rounding the corners and having it beveled to be absolutely certain of no damage to the desk.
