People often view that if they don't have a problem no will have a problem, unfortunately the finishing world and the finishers themselves vary too much to state something like that as gospel. I've applied Zinsser Sealcoat under a lot of different clear coats, sometime you win sometime you lose.
Thanks for the reference, John. I'm actually surprised TC's said you can use shellac in any form. Kudos to them. Most manufacturers, as in your GF reference, only recommend their own sealer.
If you look at a can of SealCoat it says something like "Safe under all finishes". With the finishes I use, including several from GF, I've found that to be true. Everyone should test any new finish recipe for themselves prior to using it on a project.
