How To Use Brass Lacquer
June 02, 2017
Are you in need of some shine? Who needs the sun when
you have our Brass Lacquer.
Our Brass Lacquer is a clear, non yellowing, and
durable coating. It contains a special additive that keeps metals
looking bright and clean, preserving the look of the metal longer
than other cleaners. Brass Lacquer can be used on knobs, handles,
hinges, and other metal fixtures throughout your home.
Unfinished brass must be polished frequently to maintain it's
luster. Lacquered brass will last about ten years and does not
require frequent polishing. Lacquer protects brass from
oxidation.
How to Use It
Before cleaning, determine if the surface is solid brass or if
it is brass plated. A magnet will stick to the steel underneath the
brass plating, it will not stick to solid brass. Within four hours
of cleaning ,apply the coating evenly to clean and polish the
brass. Also, apply the lacquer in 2-3 thin coats, about 8 or so
inches away from the fixture.
Step By Step Instructions:
-
Remove the brass piece if it is attached to a
piece of furniture, so you don't get spray on the
furniture.
-
Make sure the metal is clean. Wax Wash Remover is
a great product to make sure all debris and gunk is off the
product.
-
Shake the can of Brass Lacquer for one minute to
ensure that the lacquer is mixed properly and to prevent
clogging.
-
Point the spray button towards the object,
holding the can 8 to 12 inches from the surface. Use long, even
strokes to coat the piece.
-
Apply several thin coats, allowing the coating
to become tacky between applications. When the coating is tacky or
dry you can apply your next coat in the previous manner. Generally,
three coats is plenty for coating a metal piece.
After the object is coated in Brass Lacquer, the only cleaning
required will be an occasional wipe down with hot, soapy water.
