lacquers

Applies shiny finish

Lacquers are glossy protective coatings applied to wood, metal, or other surfaces.

The term covers both traditional Asian lacquers derived from tree sap and modern synthetic finishes that dry quickly to a hard, shiny surface.

As a verb, to lacquer is to apply such a finish: She lacquered the cabinet to a brilliant shine.

Lacquered hair is stiffened with spray.
