Easy to apply resulting in a hard and professional appearance

Easy to use, did not change the tint of the wood, dried like a dream.

Very happy with the Emtech finishes on the guitars I’m making. Used EM1000 before and after grain filler and then finished off with EM6000. Really impressive results.

I used this on a white oak cabinet that I had fumed with ammonia and sealed with EM 1000. This went on easily with a brush with essentially no runs. It was nice to be able to sand lightly and re-coat within a few hrs. This was a test piece before waking on kitchen cabinets I'm building. Very happy with how it worked on this cabinet. I'm planning to spray portion of kitchen project . I hope that works out as well as brushing but I'm new to spraying so wish me luck.

I used this on a white oak cabinet after fuming with 30% ammonium hydroxide. It went on smooth with no runs. As expected, it raised the grain requiring sanding before topcoating with EM2000. This was a test piece for kitchen cabinets I'm building. It passed the test!

Easy to use, I roll it on with a paint roller. goes on smoothly. easy clean up. looks great!

Worked very well with good coverage and flow out. I gave it a 4 star rating given that I had expected a slightly higher sheen for satin.

Title says it all

I have tried both the Em7000 and Em 8000. My opinion is that the water base products raise the grain too much for my liking. Then it is more sanding to get rid of of the lifted grain. Going back to oil base products

So far I have only done a test to see if the claims are true. They are. I sprayed four coats on some scrap Mahogany, which was dry and cured after 24 hours.

I apply this finish with a Fuji gun powered by a 4 stage HVLP turbine. The application is fast laying a perfect wet film. The dry time is just a couple hours at 72°F. Cleanup is with water. The finish has proven to be very suitable for real wood furniture produced in my studio.

I'm actually brushing the lacquer on a guitar, even though it's the spray formulation. It flows and levels well if I don't overapply it. I'm quite happy with it so far.

My biggest problem with (everything I try and spray) is orange peel. I'm using a Fuji mini-mite 5 and T75 gun with 1.5mm tip. Since I'm relatively new to spraying, I need to play with my settings some more and try various techniques to see if I can fix this. I've been using full air flow and have not been thinning the finish. Temperature and humidity have been in optimal ranges so that's not my problem. Once cured, this finish can be wet sanded to a glass-like smoothness, but I'd really like to not have to do much/any of that.

Used it on a walnut cabinet and it turned out great. Looks very rich and dark . Your products are great!

It's easy to work with, gives great results.

Super durable, dries and cure so fast...

I have used it with and without the sanding sealer and shellac sealer. Works great. Levels and dries well. great look and feel.

We had experimented with several finishes--even UV-cure finishes--before landing on Emtech 9300 Urethane, which we used exclusively. It gave us great, reliable results with a durable finish. But since trying the EmCat line of conversion varnish, we've switched. It's ease-of-use, great flow, fast recoat times, and quick cure time--even in our Central Florida humidity--has greatly expedited our work flow. The final finish result is the smooth, high-end furniture text our customers want and the durability is fantastic.

I used this product to refinish existing cabinets and spray new doors. I sprayed the doors and rolled the cabinet. Both finishes came out excellent and it was extremely easy to spray with a mid-grade HPLV sprayer. The self leveling properties and burn in of each additional layer was excellent. Also, I got it custom tinted and it matched perfectly. I really could not speak any higher of this product!

I have started my own small custom cabinet and furniture shop last year after 20 years doing commercial and residential millwork. The finishing aspect has been the biggest learning curve. After reading some of the blogs written by Seth, and seeing other people mention Emtech, I decided to give it a go. I can't explain how happy I have been, but I will try.
1.) Ease of use
2.) No hard fumes or solvent needed.
3.) Fast Dry times.
4.) Durable beautiful finishes.
Last the tech support has been tremendous! I deal with Seth and he always takes time to respond and answer any questions I have. He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
I will be a customer for a long time to come.

Sprays like the brite white. Used on dresser top applying 2 coats, then 3 top coats EM 6000 satin lacquer with 4% crosslinker. Had to deliver before the full 120 hour cure but after 72 hours, the finish was pretty hard. Pretty sure it will hold up well.

These people are very helpful to work with, prompt shipping and excellent packaging, to say nothing of an excellent product.

I was a furniture refinisher in the late 80's and I never liked the water based lacquers for a variety of reasons. Now that I'm retired and I've gotten back into finish carpentry and woodworking, I'm pleasantly surprised by the Emtech EM6500 custom tint lacquer. This coating is super easy to work with, has very low volatiles, goes on beautifully and lays out excellently. I love it!

Purchased this product, was able to have a fine application tutorial provided to me by Seth.
Applied a total of seven coats, sanding in between, based on instructions and achieved a soft lustrous finish on a walnut table top.

Started using EM6000 about a year ago and have excellent results. Saves time and money

I have enjoyed using Target coatings for over ten years, and have been more than satisfied with everything I have used. They produce a wonderful finish, and are highly compatible with each other. EM6500, EM8000CV, EM7000HBL, EMC9300, and the toners, as well as EM2000 are the products I have used the most, and I find them to be perfect for my projects.
