Hi,
Am toying w shellac-superblonde dewaxed.
My current project, a small box turned out good, I suppose--my standards for a finish are probably low.
I have several questions:
1) Am using BORG DNA-good enough? If I get everclear or Bekhol , will that result in a harder finish? BORG DNA has too much water in it?
2) Instead of the oil-free steel wool 0000-is the superfine Mirlon pads good enough? I just did use this Mirlon, and it turned out OK.
3) does the processing to get superblonde dewaxed degrade your final product? I have read that the chemical processing of taking out the color results in shorter shelf life, or softer finish(?)
4) Also, I read that when I get it from the freezer, and open it w/o waiting for it to come to room temperature, all the ambient moisture condenses on my flakes---and-----that will degrade my finish. Do you all make/put dessicants in the container or let it sit out for hours to warm up before opening?
Thanks!
