What happens here

Once the stain has dried for approximately 30 minutes to an hour, apply a base coat of clear lacquer. The video uses Rust-Oleum Specialty Lacquer in satin finish. It is critical to use a lacquer as a base coat when intending to apply a Sherwin-Williams glaze, as glazes will not properly stain or color over water-based or oil-based products. Ensure an even spray application over the entire stained surface.

Goal: Apply a lacquer base coat to prepare for glazing

Okay, door's all stained now. And the stain's been about 30 minutes to an hour now. We're going to start lacquering it with our spray lacquer. It's a good idea if you're doing this to use a mask, but in order to work and explain the video, I'm not using one. This lacquer is going to dry extremely fast and then we're going to go back over it and lightly sand it again. So, this step is extremely important when you're glazing a door and using a Sherwood glaze and which is a glaze is actually different than a stain or a gel stain to achieve the look. You've got to use a lacquer as your base coat.
