#1: Attention all experienced painters Author: bashyy1, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Fri Dec 13, 2013 1:21 pm ---- So I've primed,coloured, and lacquered my arches. Giving enough time in between. I did my 3 coats of lacquer about 4-5 hours ago.
They look and feel completely dry, will I totally ruin them if I go ahead and polish them now?
Some people say to wait a week, do I really have to wait that long?!

#3: Re: Attention all experienced painters Author: bashyy1, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Fri Dec 13, 2013 1:35 pm ---- 24-48 hours for the lacquer to harden? You think that's enough?

Sounds like a plan

You'll be alright i think, I lacquered one of mine yesterday and another coat today and it looks so much better, but that's not 48 hours I suppose.
