I’ve been working on a deep red finish for a mahogany project. Been following a finish schedule I found on YouTube. The schedule called for a couple applications of deep red oil dye (Behlen premix) followed by a shellac seal coat, then dark brown oil grain filler, then more coats of shellac prior to final top coat.
I knew to be careful when wiping on the shellac, but after trying wiping vs spray, it was clear how much dye wiping removed. The top board is sprayed...the bottom wiped. Just an FYI, I guess, from this recent experiment.
