- A sap from the lacquer tree contains a mixture of natural phenolic compounds, known as urushiol, which dries to form a durable film when exposed to oxygen.
- After drying and grinding the lacquer sap into flakes, artists then applied them in layers, repeating the process several times, before buffing and polishing to reveal a beautifully transparent lacquer tree varnish.
