I have been making a decorative board with a selection of woods including leopardwood and chatke viga. I was planning to coat it with seal a cell followed by arm r seal. However are either of those woods oily enough to interfere with the curing process?
in the past, I have had issues with rosewood and used shellac as a sealant. This has worked also well on purpleheart and padauk, but the subsequent WB poly applications look a little too plasticky for me. I have moved to using an aerosol spray shellac with very light coats which is better, but I still do not like the overall build of the finish.
So can I get away with putting seal a cell or arm r seal directly on these woods or will I run into trouble. Failing that, are there good ways to get very light coats of shellac that will seal the wood, but not distort the subsequent poly finish. I do not have a sprayer.
Thanks, as always.
Phil
