I would cut it right back or remove the varnish completely. Then I'd use either Feast Watson Poly Varnish or Shellac. Hard Shellac will rub out better than Poly because it dries harder and is a...

Thanks for the example Cam. I never thought of doing it like this and can see how it might work.

Yes this is correct



Can you explain further what you mean?.

I'll have a go at changing my technique somewhat. I've never had this problem before with other shellac finishes I've done. I haven't kept a note of my mix or cut of shellac unfortunately. Also the...

I have about 250-300 odd brushes as I'm a portrait artist. I tried the mob brushes before but found the hakes give a much better finish and hold more material than the mops. Also, they're not very...

Yes same job Rob. There's been no issue with the shellac over the poly so far. I'm just experimenting with drying times on a new test piece and thought I'd have a go.

The stain is under the shellac not over it, apart from a little colour that I add to the shellac to tone it in area's. I do cut back after shellac has dried but it would be made easier without...

Already got Neils book, fadding isn't a problem under ideal circumstances however I need to brush the shellac on as its going over dye stain.

Is there a way to slow the drying time of Shellac as not to get brush or overlap marks when brushing?. I've heard you can add Mineral Turps, is this true?.

Its great with a dado blade. Just make sure you buy a couple of small quick grip clamps, they're invaluable in my opinion when using the jig.

Just a reminder not to miss the Inquiry Friday as a Mr Jarnail Singh will be giving evidence again, I'm hoping Jason Beer does the questioning, he'll destroy the weasel.

Really nice Chief, what part of Englnd are your parents from?.

I think the point Alan was making was, 'even' Amazon with all its failings could do a better job.

Thanks for mentioning Fujitsu Yvan, agreed they are indeed equally coupable. Especially a Mr Gareth Jenkins.

This week will be interesting as a Mr Jarnail Singh - Solicitor and former lawyer at Royal Mail Group and Post Office Ltd. He's another big player and a vile person to say the least. He's given...

I would be applying something a little more substantial than OSMO HWO to be honest, especially in a kitchen.

Check under the cabinet door, has it been edge banded or left bare?.

Agreed, I only DL from private trackers.

Hundreds of people have been falsely convicted, made bankrupt, imprisoned and not least of all, people have committed suicide.

So were talking perjury, perverting the course of justice &...

Yeah I hear ya, few options, turn off all known tracking/advertising options or install a modified OS, theres plenty to choose from. I highly recommend installing Seek & destroy though. I have no...

Ok Guys I have some very noteworthy information on Feast Watson. I had a phone call today from the technical department in regard to applying Shellac (in all its forms) over their oil based...

Hmmm... this has got me wondering if I may not have allowed the polyurethane long enough to cure before applying shellac over it as the Wattyl 7008 two pack is also a polyurethane... Did you get any...

I was thinking more along the lines of using the Acrylic as seal coat, to seal alcohol based dye stain.

Here's someone I imagine knows what he's doing:

I'll give it a go. So far the worst finish to polish over has got to be Poly, it starts cracking the shellac within a few days due to the poly still gassing off. Acrylic on the other hand I'm unsure...

What oil do you use?, When you say cut back you mean sand it back?, just making sure I've got all the terminology correct!.

Quick question: can you apply shellac over an Acrylic clear coat?.

Yep, if it had layers and they didn't melt into one another we would be having a hell of a time avoiding witness lines!.

On that note, anyone have any good tips on avoiding them or even getting...

Oh thats it then I'm raiding the pantry for old plastic bottles now, great idea!.

Bloody hell Rob, you must have biceps like a buffalo!. Better than any spray lacquer finish!.

Hi Rob, Is the goal of bodying up to have a completely smooth surface without grain of any sort showing?. Are there any circumstances where you would want to show some texture?.

I use a little Paraffin oil when French Polishing. Don't know if that's the correct stuff to use but it seems to stop the fad from sticking anyway.

Its all on Youtube Mic, right from when it began two years ago.

Totally agree Rob. My first thought was OMG What is he doing!. Shellac over wax!?, no chance, why would you even risk it. I didn't know if there was something I was missing, so I thought I'd draw...

I saw this video where the guy applies a stain to a table top, uses wax and pummice to seal the pores then applies shellac over the top?!:o

A couple of questions on this one, how on earth is the...

I will be trying Robs suggestion tomorrow and if that doesn't work for me I'll give the Intergrain ultraprep primer & sealer or the Bondall Monocel All Purpose Timber Sealer a go.

The picture above is only an example of how dark the finish is I'm looking for.

I have no issue wiping the stain on, its keeping it on and not re-dissolving the stain that's the problem. I have tried spray, roller, wiping, brushing all to varying degree's of finesse and none...

Thanks for the advice Rob, I'll give it a go!.

Just a moment...

If I want to seal in an Alcohol Dye stain, so I can use Shellac as my final finish, is there anything other than
Sanding Sealer I can use to seal the stain so it doesn't lift the stain?.

I've...

Ah I thought it was a varnish finish you used by Wattyl, my bad!.

Hey Rob, whats the Wattyl stuff you been using?.

As for the lacquer, I've found these but its expensive so I'd like to hear of any cheap places aswell.
