I'm relativly new to finishing but have had good success with spraying lacquer and shellac. My new project I'm doing is a QSWO kitchen table. I want to use watco oil and then seal it with a few coats of shellac, some glaze and then polyurethane. But it occured to me that maybe the shellac might react with hot plates and stuff that finds its way on kitchen tables. Can this happen with poly over top? If so any suggestions? Maybe skip the shellac and just use poly. I've been thinking about it and I have also thought about maybe waterbase poly or water base lacquer but i am not sure how durable they are. Any thougts and advise would be great thanks.
