My go-to finish is usually oil/varnish. I think I might shellac this chair, though. I saw some shellacked chairs at a show a few weeks ago, and it felt so nice. Also, been itchin' to spray again.
Anyway, my q is regarding how to harden any soft spots. I'm planning to inject some CA glue into a couple patches. But should I do this before, in the middle of, or after I shellac? I'm planning on using Garnet.
My instinct is CA first, and that it won't hurt the color.
