While both Lacquer and Varnish are used for finishing wooden furnitures and artifacts, they have different applications due these basic differences:
Laquer is used for the Finish or Top Coat. Over time it begins to discolor and scratched. It is applied via a sprayer and in very thin layers compared to other finishes.
On the other hand, Varnish is used for Intense Glossy Finishes and is protective by nature. It also provides protection against UV Light. Application of Varnish is usually carried out using a natural bristle brush.
