Jul 10, 2019 at 13:44 comment added Trevor Miranda Hi Graphus and thanks for the help so far, I didn't know brushing application really was this difficult. I guess as a beginner I should probably stick to sprayed? I'm using Watco "Crystal Clear" gloss lacquer, and applying with a 3-inch Wooster flat, white china brush.
Jul 10, 2019 at 6:55 comment added Graphus If you want more that's on-point about your specific situation can you let us know exactly what you're using? It's generally important to list the product used in a finishing query but it's especially important here as lacquer (as it would normally be understood in woodworking circles) can't be applied by brush.
Jul 10, 2019 at 6:54 comment added Graphus Hi, welcome to StackExchange. I suspect you've done nothing wrong here per se, you just haven't done certain addition steps necessary to achieving the surface finish you want. Just to let you know now, as a rule of thumb it's rare that a finish can be applied by brush only (no other application tools used, no further steps in the finishing process) and result in a really top-class surface, even in expert hands.
