I decided on shellac, and started with a coat of Bullseye Seal Coat then went to Bullseye Shellac (clear) cut to 1.5#.
My problem is with brush marks at the corners. I'll brush the first of 4 sides just fine, but I'm not sure the best way to do the other sides. I've tried both overlapping each corner, and starting just after the end of the last side.
Either way I seem to end up with brush marks at the corners.
Any suggestions?
I bought a $25 Purdy brush for shellac.

Anybody have any advice?

I saw a thread here on SMC that when the shellac is just about dry, to do a quick wipe with some DNA to soften any brush marks or ridges - would that help?

Buy a really good brush. Purdy are so-so at best. I have a few that were $50-$65 for a 2" quality brush. I like Ox hair brushes for shellac.

Finishing is an 'Art & a Science'. Actually, it is a process. You must understand the properties and tendencies of the finish you are using. You must know the proper steps and techniques, then you must execute them properly.
