Lacquers (both pre-catalyzed and regular lacquers) and polyurethanes dry by the evaporation of the solvents in the finish. If a solvent is reintroduced to the finish after it is dry, the finish will re-wet and be ruined.
Conversion varnish finishes are a 2 part finish consisting of a varnish and an acid catalyst that are mixed together immediately prior to the application.
This finish cures through a chemical reaction between the catalyst and the finish. The reintroduction of a solvent will not re-wet the finish.
Conversion varnish finishes are more difficult to apply, cost more, and excess finish material must be disposed of as it only has an 8 hour life after catalyzation.
