Hello all,
This is my first post and introduction so please be easy on me as a newb. I have been google searching this subject and got a few hits from this site so I am hoping to get more insight from the more experienced than myself crowd.
I am finishing the basement and bought 450 sticks of the 1x8x 8ft Knotty Pine T&G. From reading posts I have tested with the Zinsser Clear Shellac. By the 3rd coat and sanding I have a really nice finish. I would like a little brighter of a finish, something like a liquid glass or clear coat look.
1.) Is the Shellac going to be the best sealer and base to stop from yellowing?
2.) What options for a brighter finish or am I asking to much?
3.) How long will this hold up threw the years.
Thanks in advance
