I am at the point in the project where it is time to apply the finish. I plan to use this process suggested by local experts.
Sand 120, 180, 220
Raise grain with distilled water
Sand 220
Die to color with water base die with 1/2 to 1/4 cut
lightly sand with 220
seal with clear shellack
seal with very ligth coat of toned shellack
seal with clear shellack
top coat with varnish
Top Coat Question:
I plan on using the materials below. The only deviation from the above procedure is to top coat with "Arm-R-Seal Ureathane and Top Coat" as recomended by the fellows at Klingspore. I think I confused them and myself trying to decide on the varnish type and ended up buying this stuff. Does anyone have experience with Arm-R-Seal with this application. The Arm-R-Seal is applied with a cotton cloth.If I was to use varnish, what brand is suggested. Can you apply varnish with a spray gunand could I apply with a spray gun.
Dark/Light glue up question:
Please note the difference in the colors of the glue board below. Will the transtint blend this enough so that it is not too noticable.
