Lacquers or Painted finishes

In solid opaque lacquers or painted finishes.

The gloss product has all the best in hardness and durability characteristics including resistance to dents and impressions.

With moisture proof or moisture resistant coatings the hardness or density and porosity of the wood substrate will dictate the required number of build coats.

The best moisture proof coating can not do it’s job if the coating thickness does not provide for wear and a non permeable membrane.

When moisture resistance is important, always give at least one more coat than it takes to look, just good.

The one extra topcoat will more than double resistance to moisture.
If it is outside it will get rained on sometime.
