My question is when I use spray on lacquers should I cover up the bare wood in cavities that will be used with epoxies and silicone sealants?
The cavities in mind for epoxies are brass barrel hinges, brass feet and securing plastic bottles for a salt & pepper shaker. For the silicone sealant, glass tubes in a vase.
In the past I stuffed some paper in the cavity for barrel hinges. I'm figuring if I could seal the cavities with the lacquer it would be better to fully seal the wood.
I use 1 coat of sander sealer followed by 4 to 5 coats. The finishes I use are satin, semi gloss & gloss.
Thanks,
Phil
