I am building kitchen doors and drawer fronts from US Hard Maple. The aim is to keep to wood light in colour - so the plan is to use a blond shellac.
Rather than use the local Ubeaut white shellac, which requires thinning with alcohol, I am considering using Zinsser out of the can.
Zinsser comes in two forms, the waxed Bulls Eye Shellac, and the dewaxed Seal Coat. Only the Bulls Eye is available in Australia.
What is the difference between these two if the wood is not to be stained/dyed and no other finish is to be applied? As I understand, the de-waxed shellac is the choice when another finish is used against it. Is this correct?
Are there advantages/disadvantages of using the waxed version?
