First, I stain like it will be. Then, I give a thinned wash-coat of shellac, apply black paste wood filler, remove it with a credit card or razor blade. Do only a good scrub with burlap and very fine sanding just to get the dirt. I like the look the orange shellac gives to fine wood. This should leave you with a surface ready to finish. Yes ,you can spray lacquer over shellac if you mist on the first couple of coats and dry it fast. If you lay down a heavy coat everything crackles by the time it dries. D.L. Bullock St. Louis Have you tried the new 2# cut from Zinser (spelling)? It is guaranteed wax free and may be used under any film finish. I've yet to have a failure using it as a sealer. Top coats may be applied as usual. Paul C ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
