I am in the finishing stages of my first chest of drawers. Yesterday I sprayed the inside of the carcase with shellac. This includes the drawer guides and runners. Is that a mistake? What about the sides of the drawers? They were dyed and coated with shellac.
What made me think about this is. I started to think about doing a few coats of WaterLox on the sides of the drawers. Then thought if the oil varnish was not completely cured. I may get some sticking. Then come to the conclusion that no matter what I did the finish will eventually rub off. That would not look good on the sides of the drawers when they are open.
What has been your experience with this? Should I remove all the finish from the runners and drawer sides? Just the top and bottom of the drawer sides (were they contact the runners and kickers)?
