In another thread, I am working out how to have a 0.5" by 2" by 6' piece of trim in a bathroom stay put.
that particular piece of wood is, over its entire length, over a mirror, so will be held in place by silicone or other similar adhesive.
My question for this forum...(please forgive me cause some will say to post all this together ) is about the finish:
I have the thought of using some mahogany (lots of scrap on hand), because of it's stability in humid environments, etc, and relatively straight grain.
But, what about painting it white?
I saw on YouTube a lady said use Sherwin Williams Shellac based primer, and there will be no bleed through of the pink pigment. (It has been well established in this forum that shellac is a superb sealer.)
And, how about wanting to have a really smooth surface, the trim will be right in front of her face.....just sand well, and maybe use two coats of said primer?
As always, Thanks!
