What happens here

Following the discussion of pigmented lacquers, the video introduces clear lacquers, specifically Sherwin Williams' high-build pre-catalyzed clear lacquer. This product serves as a topcoat, often applied over stained millwork or to protect a base color. Similar to its pigmented counterpart, its 'high-build' nature contributes to a visually appealing, thick coating that provides depth and a premium look. The video notes that these clear lacquers are available in various sheens, mentioning a 'dull rub effect' as an example, which falls between a satin and an eggshell finish in terms of gloss.

Goal: Understand the application and characteristics of clear lacquers for durable topcoats.

So, it's going to be kind of a low, less than a satin, but a little bit more than an eggshell. Yep. Um,
