I'm in the final stages of a Mission style bed made of QSWO. My intentions were to use a finish I found in an article of Wood Magazine back in Nov of '06. But after reading several of the post's here, I'm starting to have second thoughts. The formula basically calls for a 1# cut of super blonde shellac mixed to 2 parts brushing lacquer and tinted to suit. This would be the first time I've attempted to use anything like this. After reading several of the post here I'm nervous. When I read things like not being able to overlap, keep going, don't go back over areas ect...now I'm worried. I've invested way to much to have this finish be a problem.
The particular article I've mentioned said to brush on liberally and then wipe immediatley wipe off the excess to achieve an even color. Do my concerns have merit?
