Yes, but don't use it. Lacquer thinner is petroleum based and should work to dissolve the glue (depends on what type of glue). However, even if it does work, concrete is naturally porous and the petroleum product will actually stain the concrete. It would most likely leave a strong smell and once the vapors dissipated, dirt would collect.

Will lacquer thinner remove dried paint from a paint sprayer?

It depends on the type of paint. Lacquer thinner will remove most oil based and latex paints from a paint sprayer, however, spray gun cleaner will remove it better.


Will mineral oil get oil based paint out?

Mineral oil is not used to remove paint. Mineral spirits is used to thin and cleanup oil based paints, however it will not affect the paint once it has dried. Remove dried oil based paint by scraping or use lacquer thinner to soften the paint so that it can be removed.


What is the difference between lacquer and paint thinner?

Lacquer thinner evaporates quicker. It is cleaner or leaves less of a film than paint thinner. Lacquer thinner will thin most solvent based paint but paint thinner shouldn't be used to thin Lacquer. Lacquer dries from the surface painted out and enammal dries from the surface of the paint down to the surface painted. Using the wrong thinner affects how the paint dries and may affect the final finish.

Used to dilute, dissolve and clean up lacquer products. Typically too caustic for oil paints, lacquer thinner is often used for removing inks on metal, and adhesive residue from a variety of surfaces.

How do you remove a lacquer floor finish?

We were attempting to remove lacquer from a quarry tile floor. We had inadvertantly put lacquer on quarry tile, which I guess is a no-no. We had a white discoloration that was appearing after only a few days after application. This discoloration was determined to be lacquer that was not bonding properly, and the problem was growing. The only way to correct this problem was to completely remove the lacquer. We sought help through this help sight, but got no answers, so we experimented on our own. We reasoned that lacquer thinner should thin lacquer, so maybe it would remove it. We tried a test area, and it did remove it, but not completely. We deduced that we were only thinning it, and when it dried, there was still just a thinner layer on the quarry tile. So we went to a more powerful thinner- acetone. Acetone has a quicker evaporation rate than lacquer thinner. We used absorbent rags and wiped on the acetone and off with the lacquer ! We had to repeat the process several times with clean rags each time, to get it totally clean. Our rags turned yellow after they dried, indicating to us that we were getting the lacquer finish removed. Keep in mind that we used lots of precautions- cannister-style breathing apparatus, rubber gloves, non-absorbent knee pads, lots of ventilation, etc., etc. We made sure all heaters, etc. were turned off so not to ignite any fumes. DO NOT attempt to take off any lacquer without at least the above protection, if not more !

What about dried on nail polish on a wood door?

Devise a scraper of hard plastic by sharpening the edge of an old credit card. This will not scratch wood, but is effective as a scraper. Scrape off all the polish that you can. You probably won't get all of it off, and the only solution for the rest is lacquer thinner (nail polish is essentially lacquer). Lacquer thinner will likely mar or partially dissolve the finish on the door, but you can start weak, using a rag wet with hair spray, then graduating to commercial nail polish remover. You might be completely successful, or you might remove the polish at the expense of a marred spot in the door - it's your choice.
