My shellac method for sealing off silicone seems to work a little better when using the spray version, and so far has worked pretty well for me. Glad you stopped by.

Both times I used Shellac as a sealer. What I did was to soak the bare wood before sanding with laquer thinner. as I went through the grits I applied Laquer thinner. The result was silicone free. I use Shelac for the majority of my jobs. I apply it with a cheesecloth rag in a technique called French Polishing. I also use alcohol based stains which I can stain into the shellac with if needed.

To give you an example...Skittles candy is reportedly coated with a small amount of shellac to give it that glossy look it has. Who woulda thunk it, huh? <br /><br />RoryRoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412521060305625600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785646312926592570.post-23899554787065548922010-03-22T23:51:47.074-04:002010-03-22T23:51:47.074-04:00Hi Rory,

Multiple coats in the same day are not generally a problem at all.<br />RoryRoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412521060305625600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785646312926592570.post-25063739053158389182010-03-22T08:22:49.839-04:002010-03-22T08:22:49.839-04:00HI RORY!thanks for the info... so good to know... ...HI RORY!thanks for the info... so good to know... and so nice that it dries pretty quickly!will try it for sure..Donatellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09416135254058644828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785646312926592570.post-16733531412464614612010-03-22T07:05:18.479-04:002010-03-22T07:05:18.479-04:00Thanks Pieced Pastimes,

After you spray it on, very lightly sand it smooth, to get out any imperfections with 320 grit. Very Lightly. Apply a second coat of shellac if you want to be certain of coverage. Shellac dries pretty quickly, so it wont hold up your project very long to do this extra step.<br />Thank you for comment and stopping by.<br /><br />RoryRoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412521060305625600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785646312926592570.post-75014033492806613862010-03-22T06:43:34.490-04:002010-03-22T06:43:34.490-04:00This is some great information.

I was able to correct it, but will try your suggestion of priming with shellac next time. TFS.Pieced Pastimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637896375988308200noreply@blogger.com
