Lacquer
Lacquer is an alchemy result with two blue runes. At the Laboratory I the simplest mix is 2 Blood; 2 Seed oil also work, and so does a single Zombie goo. Every ingredient has to be studied at the Study Table before it can go in.
Nothing in the demo uses it. Each flask of it gives 2 blue tech points and counts toward the Alchemist inspiration.

Notes
- Blood is the cheap way. It costs 1 Science to study, and 8 of the demo’s 15 kinds of corpse carry some in their pockets.
- In the full game it goes into Live Bait and Confession Booth III, and the town Alchemist sells it.
- Studying Lacquer itself costs 5 Science and gives 30 red and 10 blue.
