Shellac Danish Oil concoction
Hi All,
Okay i am a newbie... I have heard people making their own concoctions for danish oil, and other finishes to get what the finish that they are happy with.
My question is: Has anyone when making their own DO concoction, tried putting shellac flakes in?
I have never used Shellac flakes before and have only ever used estapol, but want something better. so I don't know anything shellac, and I hope this isn't a stupid question.
If this is a bad idea, why??
if anybody thinks it might be a good idea, why??
Thanks
Greg.Last edited by Greg_stewy; 23rd November 2004 at 03:58 PM. Reason: forgot something.

Cos if it worked the wise one would have done it.
Shellac dissolves in alcohol and I am guessing that in oil it would just become a large, expensive, viscous blob.
All to do with reactive processes.
C'mon Neil, I know it won't work but not sure exactly why.Last edited by Iain; 25th November 2004 at 10:29 AM. Reason: forgot a crucial little word

I don't think that Greg_stewey was questioning U's wisdom, he just wanted to know the science behind the wisdom.

Shellac flakes won't mix with oil because they're not compatible!!! You can however use premixed shellac with oil but the addition of the oil in this instance basically serves to stop the shellac from working and vice versa. Stick with the poly or if you can get it use spa varnish (the old fashioned oil based varnish)
Cheers - Neil
PS Dave you really are a suck.............. Well done.
