Minwax site says no poly over lacquer. Do I have to sand to bare wood,
or is there a better way?


Some moisture cure polyurethanes are OK to use over lacquer (degloss
first) but most solvent base polyurethanes can not be used over
lacquer.

Call the industrial coatings tech support for manufacturers like
Sherwin Williams, Target Coatings, etc. for the straight dope on this.

Don't bother calling one of the retail outlets.
