 | | Quick-drying solvent-based lacquers that contain nitrocellulose, a resin obtained from the nitration of cotton other cellulostic materials, were developed in the early 1920s, and extensively used in the automobile industry for 30 years. | | | Lacquers using acrylic resin, a synthetic polymer, were developed in the 1950s. | | | The use of lacquers in automobile finishes was discontinued when tougher, more durable, weather and chemical resistant two-component polyurethane coatings were developed. |

| | The Process of Making Lacquer Paintings in Vietnam |
| | Lacquer is a clear sap coming from any of six species of trees growing in Vietnam, the main one being Rhus (or Toxicodendron) succedanea in the north and Melanorrhoea (or Gluta) laccifera in the south, both belonging to the family Anacardiaceae. | | | Lacquer is harvested in the same way as rubber, by making an incision and letting the sap flow. | | | Several shades of red are extracted from a naturally occurring red mineral, cinnabar (mercuric sulfide). |

| | A typical example of when not to spray lacquer would be the typical winter day in Western Washington where the temperature is 45°F, the humidity is 90%, and the dew point is 43°F Other Conditions There are several other conditions that will improve the success of our sprayed lacquer finish. | | | This lacquer is sold for use in high-pressure spray equipment, and as such has an extremely high solids content. | | | Don't write-off a sprayed lacquer finish because you have been led to believe that large and expensive equipment is required. |

| | The Asiatic Bazaar: The lacquer ware |
| | The lacquer used in Burma is called thit-si (wood resin), which is the sap of the Melanorrhoea usitata, a tree native to Southeast Asia. | | | Prior to use, the lacquer resin is usually warmed in the sun for a short time. | | | However, the addition of water do3s not improve the quality, for the lacquer soon absorbs some of the moisture which alters the color and renders it less durable and glossy. |

| | Asian Lacquerware |
| | Harvesting lacquer from the Varnish Tree is relatively simple: The technique varies depending on what region of Asia you are in, but generally, in Japan, five to ten horizontal cuts are made in the tree’s trunk parallel to one another. | | | Another type of lacquer can be created when crude lacquer is heated at 60 degrees Celsius, this is called Hosezu lacquer and will not dry and harden. | | | Lacquer comes from the sap of the tree species, Rhus Veniciflua, commonly known as the Varnish Tree. |

| | Literally, it also realistically and forcefully reflects the mysterious power of “black lacquer.” Lacquer is the resin of certain trees growing only in East Asia whose characteristics vary: Rhus succedanea in Vietnam, Rhus verniciera in Japan and Melanorrhea laccifera in Cambodia. | | | Asians have known about the techniques of using lacquer resin from very early times. | | | The sap thus collected is contained in large bamboo barrels covered tightly by sticking wax paper on their surfaces to make them air-proof. |

| | However, lacquer is dried in high-humidity environments where it hardens by drawing out oxygen from the humidity. | | | From the middle of June to the end of October, every 5 days from 4 in the morning, a cut is made on the tree from where one drop of lacquer can be gathered. | | | That is why the color appears different on one which has been dry for a day, another for a month, and another for half a year, even if they were all painted with the same lacquer. |

| | Nitrocelluose Lacquer |
| | The process of building a musical instrument quality lacquer finish involves several spraying and sanding sessions over an 6 to 8 day period. This cycle of applying multiple coats of finish, letting the finish dry, then sanding it level is repeated several times before the finish is perfectly smooth and pore free. | | | By contrast, Maple, Sycamore, and the Spruce and Cedar top woods, are non-porous and sand smoothly enough that this filling process is not required. The clear lacquer can be sprayed directly onto these non-porous woods when the thin vinyl sealer coat is dry. | | | Use fresh paper often for efficient, clean leveling. Wipe the water and lacquer slurry from the surface often to check your progress. Sand all areas methodically and uniformly. |
