Common questions

Can new lacquer simply cover peeling lacquer?

Unsound material needs proper assessment and preparation. Applying over a failing surface is not presented as an appropriate shortcut.

Does peeling lacquer always stay localised?

Not necessarily. The visible edge and surrounding finish should be checked before the repair area is defined.
