Application of Lacquer

 

 
     Once the primer has been given sufficient time to dry, it is scuffed down with 180-grit sandpaper and six coats of high gloss black lacquer are applied. After another four to five days, the piano is scuffed--once again with 180-grit sandpaper--and the final six coats of lacquer are applied. The finish is then given approximately ten days to cure before the final stage, hand rubbing.
