If a polyurethane varnish (not lacquer) contained linseed oil, it COULD have lead in it - lead is a drying agent for that oil. It was mostly used in paints as a pigment. Varnish has no pigment and it dries by chemical reaction, so most polyurethane varnishes don't need lead.

Can you reduce 2k polyurethane paint with lacquer thinner?
Urethanes react with water and alcohols. To use lacquer thinner you need to be sure that it contains no IPO or IPA. Cheap lacquer thinners probably contain mainly toluol xylol and ketones; these should be OK. Just thin a little urethane lacquer and its hardener with the lacqer thinner and let it stand or apply to a small test patch. If it froths or goes funny in any way; forget it

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.
What kind of brush do you use to paint lacquer?
Generally speaking, you don't brush lacquer....it has to be sprayed. With that being said there are probably some products that you can brush on if you feel that you must. You would want to use either a china bristle brush, or a "natural" brush. Please know that when you use lacquer thinner to clean your brushes, it may soften the glue that bonds the bristles to the handle. I would use a polyurethane or urethane if you need to apply it by brush. You can put either on top of lacquer if you want to (but you cannot put a lacquer on top of the poly).
