This is NOT a sponsor video. Amber shellac is my go-to finish for most of projects. I use this on natural wood colors or over stains to give everything a warm look. 12 oz. denatured alcohol to 1 qt of amber shellac.
Howdy Brother! Thanks for taking the time to explain your finishing techniques. By the way, your dust collection system in the background looks awesome.
Howdy! Yea it's a great addition to the shop. It's a cyclone CV1800. Jay Bates actually just did a video on his CV1800 a few days ago. You should check out my table saw station video because I built all the tools around the dust collection system in that video.
Hey Bob. That's the same problem I had when i started using Zinsser too. Once I diluted it with denatured alcohol to just about 1:1 then it's much easier to use and flows nicely over the work piece. If you find a drip mark take a paper towel and soak it in alcohol and the shellac drip will rub away and blend in. Hope this helps! Send me a picture of the work piece when it's finished!
Thanks ,Ill try that next. It's a bare wood slab exterior door and I'm staining and shellacing the interior for show and painting the exterior to match the trim scheme.2 coats brush done, 2 coats spray done. One more coat then I re-hang it.
@Rick P. it is a nice color but ive tried and had had others try it and the end results always look bad. i sprayed it once and the second coat melts the first coat so it never darkens
