I have a cherry sofa table that I am working on. I need it to match a pre-existing piece that is fairly dark cherry.
My game plan was, after a few coats of dye to add some redness, to use glaze to fine tune the color (get it darker).
I understand that thin coats of glaze are important, both for adhesion of subsequent top coats, and to avoid looking muddy.
Do you need to follow each coat of glaze with something like a thin coat of lacquer or shellac to seal it in, or do you just put on several coats until the color is right, and then top coat?
I haven't yet decided if the top coat will be multiple wiped on coats of Waterlox, or some sprayed on EM6000.
Thanks in advance, as always.
