Mikericks Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I finished some cherry with rattle can shellac and it came out great ! Both fast and easy. Is there a down side other than cost.? I don’t see a lot of talk/interest about rattle can use. what about rattle can lacquer ? Seems like it would be a good finish solution without a sprayer setup. please share your experiences.

pkinneb Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I use Deft spray lacquer on small projects a lot for ease of use but due to expense on larger pieces I use a Mini Mite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I think in general the aerosol can finishes are good finishes. The main problem with them is cost. I did have a problem with Varathane's water borne polyurethane aerosol can finish. It did not lay down well and almost looked like pellets on the surface. Luckily the store i bought it from took it as a return. The can may have been defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the same issue the two times I tried that finish in a rattle can. I think the water based varnish tends to gum up the nozzle.

Wimayo Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think that a lot of the quality you get from a spray can depends on the spray nozzle. Some have a nozzle that produces a nice fan shaped spray and these do a very good job. I have mostly found these on automotive spray paint which, by the way, can be used on wood and give very good results; particularly if you apply a automotive primer first.
