My plan was to put a thin coat of BLO on a cherry coffee table and follow that with several coats of shellac. I tried the BLO on a test piece and got some significant splotching. I then took another test piece and applied a 1lb. cut of shellac as a sealer and I didn't get the splotching that came with the BLO. If I apply a sealer coat of shellac can I apply the BLO on top of it and follow that with several coats of a 2lb. cut of shellac? Also, is there any point in applying the BLO once I apply the sealer coat?
Thanks,
Randy
