Just got back with the Zinsser Shellac Bullseye--what I had on the shelf was old and didn't dry.
I have flakes-not motivated to do all that.
(See--I read in Flexner and Jewitt).
So, Flexner says that not good to use Polyurethane on Shellac.
My question is----to seal the wood to decrease blotching, do I use the Zinsser right from the can, or cut with water?
This is on ambrosia maple. I want to stain fairly dark.
Will then dye with TransTint water based dye, and spray with lacquer.
As always, thanks for holding my hand.
