Does lacquer contain lead

If a polyurethane varnish (not lacquer) contained linseed oil, it COULD have lead in it - lead is a drying agent for that oil. It was mostly used in paints as a pigment. Varnish has no pigment and it dries by chemical reaction, so most polyurethane varnishes don't need lead.

Urethanes react with water and alcohols. To use lacquer thinner you need to be sure that it contains no IPO or IPA. Cheap lacquer thinners probably contain mainly toluol xylol and ketones; these should be OK. Just thin a little urethane lacquer and its hardener with the lacqer thinner and let it stand or apply to a small test patch. If it froths or goes funny in any way; forget it
