Just about at the finishing stage of a QSWO dresser and have run into a couple of questions I can't seem to find answers on. Planning on a finishing schedule of:
spray with water, let dry, sand lightly w/ 320
apply tanstint
apply Seal a Cell, dry, and sand w/320 (Question - I've seen Arm R Seal and Shellac used at this step - why would I use one vs the other??? Pros Cons)
Apply GF gel Stain
Apply P&L38 Satin (Question - I've seen where it's good practice to use gloss first. Why? One coat, multiple except top, again Why? Can one use Satin all the way? Perhaps a first coat of shellac, then P&L38?
Just trying to clear up some finer details when it comes to the finishing process. All finish is being done by hand. Thanks for any/all responses!!!
