Hey Susan,
Where are you getting this Unilac. I've tried googling but it turns up nothing. I do a lot of furniture projects and wouldn't mind testing this product.

Hi Vinnie,
This product is solvent-based and is compatable with most existing products,lacquer and varnish. Although I have tried lots of different water-based products, I've not been happy with results on our furniture lines. I know the trend is greener is better, but I'm a solvent-based girl! This new product has been wonderful, we actually left samples out in the snow for weeks and poured coca-cola on it. Haven't been able to damage it! I've also noticed a greater clarity in the finishes than with traditional poly-based products. All I know is that our customers have been pleased!

Hey Susan,
Is this a waterborn product (considered green) or does it still handle like a lacquer? I've switched to all waterborn products and think they're great. Which do they consider this?

Just want to share my experience with a new product that I absolutley love!! It's called Unilac by Lorchem. It's a fabulous new alternative to traditional lacquer finishes, It's actually a hybrid acrylic that sprays like lacquer with the durability of conversion varnishes and urethanes. You can use it as is or add a hardner that gives it incredible strength(i've run tests!) It gives that soft buttery feel that lacquer provides and a better rub out. If you get the chance, check it out! I have had tremendous sucess using this product. .

Hey There....So my friend has a flower shop and just moved a space with wood tongue and groove floors. What should I put on them to protect them from the swamp that it becomes at the end of the day?

Anyone have experience with the Earlex 5000 Spray Station. I've seen some good reviews and am considering purchasing one. Also, need recommendation for a good H2O spray finish.

Talk with the Becker Acroma people. They make a great clear and pigmented waterborne product. I stick with the solvent based stains though......less grain raise.

i am the finisher for a small custom furniture business. i do all my own color matching. i currently use all Becker-Acroma lacquer based products but the boss wants me to look into "going green" with the new water based technologies. I've had conversations with the people from Fuhr< but am hesitant to move forward. i like everything about solvent-based products and am resistant to change. any suggestions for easing my mind on the transition?
