Looks like my finishing options are VERY limited as I have little time till X-Mass. The project is done and I was going to use Bullseye Amber Shellac with about 3 - 4 coats of General Finishes Oil & Urethane. Till I just learned that the Amber Shellac has wax in it.
Can I put the Oil & Urethane over Shellac containing Wax? I thought no?
I know the Bullseye Sanding Sealer is free of wax and I could tint it to get the amber hew I want, but I don't have any Trans Tint nor do I have access to it in time.
Could I put a small MinWax Sample Dye packet and mix with the sanding sealer? The project is quite small so I don't need much more then a few drops.
Also I just did a test run with only oil and urethane to see the color and I think the product is shot. I had to scrape the skin off, but it is thick like syrup or maybe even molasses. I want to guess this product is a good 3 yrs old. Should I toss it and get some new? I'm afraid it won't cure.
Thanks,
Chris
