lacquer

Lacquer is a type of protective finish used on furniture, musical instruments, and other items. It’s created from a resin that, when applied, forms a smooth, hard, and glossy coating. Lacquer dries quickly and can be built up in thin layers, enhancing the appearance and durability of the surface. Its glossy finish highlights the underlying material’s beauty, and it resists moisture and scratches better than some other finishes. Often used in woodworking and manufacturing, lacquer provides a sleek, professional look and helps preserve the item over time.
