Okay I tried researching for an answer and found pleanty of internet todos and not do. Even talked with my local store and not sure they want to give me advise because of the Heart Pine and possible pitchiness or what i think is sap. I hit a pocket of sap it was try but yellow dust was tacky. I'M CONFUSED on what to do.....
If there is thread out there just point me in that direction if not just let me know.
Here is the problem...I have built my wife a nice Heart Pine table and I have planed and jointed, sanded top and skirt. Oh....Let me say this is for the kitchen and needs to be durable also. Have 3 kids so water, cold and heated bowls will be put on top.
But now it needs to be finished but when I hit the sap pocket..see above. it concerned me. Now researching on the internet I'm finding that Waterlox is a possible option, Shellac thinned with Mineral spirits for sealer from local store but no recommendation on finishes.
So.. Waterlox, Wipe on Poly, Armaseal, full strength Shellac, Deft Lacquer or (turtle Wax my idea).
