How to use Horolacq Silver Lacquer

Before applying Horolacq Silver Lacquer, make sure the silver surface is clean, dry and free from grease, dust and residues. The silver should have the desired appearance before lacquering, as the coating is intended to protect the finished surface.

Apply the lacquer carefully using a suitable clean brush, working towards a thin and even coating. Avoid unnecessarily heavy application, as this can affect the appearance of the finished surface.

Allow the lacquer to dry thoroughly before handling the item. For valuable or antique pieces, it is sensible to test the application on a small, inconspicuous area where possible.

Cleaning the brush: brushes used with Horolacq Silver Lacquer should be cleaned with Cellulose Thinners.
