• I would like to know . . . the difference between polyurethane and lacquer. I kinda know poly takes a Good day to dry between coats and I have been told lacquer  takes about thirty minutes. I’ve never tried lacquer before. Is there a benefit I should know about? In cabinet doors and cabinet boxes should I have been using lacquer all these years?
