How to Apply Lacquer to Walking Cane
Ok. Now, after the oil has had a chance to dry. And, we kind of wiped it with a little bit of lacquer thinner to take off the excess. I take a clean soft cloth. I like to use an all soft. And, just give it a final rub. And, now we're going to apply a little bit of spray lacquer. This lacquer that I'm using is a very fine mist, quick drying lacquer spray that's especially for wood finishing. And, like almost everything you can find it at your local home store. Here we go. We're just going to apply a color of lacquer to it. It's going to shine it up a little bit. And, we'll let that dry for a few minutes. This stuff dries very quickly. So, you don't have to worry too much about putting a whole lot on. Ok. We're going to let the lacquer dry for a little bit. And, then we'll do a final rub down and we'll be done.
