Hi all,
Getting ready to start on a small cherry wall cabinet, and I'm trying to think about how to finish it.
My initial thought was a coat or two of a wiping varnish, such as Waterlox or Formby's, on both interior and exterior surfaces, but I'm getting some conflicting info as to whether or not it'd be wise to use either of these products on the interior of the cabinet due to the possibility of lingering fumes/smell.
The cabinet won't see any 'hard' use, so now I'm thinking about scrapping the idea of a wiping varnish altogether, and just simply doing a coat or two of shellac both inside and out. The catch is I've never really worked with shellac, and my only concern is whether I'll be able to achieve a decent, even coat due to the fact that : 1) I'm inexeperienced with shellac, and, 2) given the nature of the cabinet, I'll be tackling corners/ tight spaces.
Anyone have any opinions either way?
Thanks in advance...
