Also, lacquer does not need to be sanded between coats. The coat being
applied partially dissolves into the coat below. That process, as well as
the fast drying time, allow you to spray many coats fairly quickly. I
usually wait about 30 minutes between coats. I put the spray gun in a cool
place out of the sun while waiting and only clean it at the end of the
session.
