Serving board done so far, 41x11x2. Two coats of danish oil, 1 coat of sealcoat shellac, 4 coats of brushed on regular shellac thinned 40%. Built as a surprise BUT....now I find out my sister wants it bigger and plans to put warm polenta on it. Is shellac going to hold up to warm polenta? The whole idea really bothers me regarding the 'pouring the food on it' because my it's such a trendy instagram thing to do, likely once too. My lil sister kills me sometimes. She also wanted it 18" wide for a 36" wide table....barely any room plates and glasses if made that big. What turned out to be a surprise might be a gift she wont even use hahah.
I was going to wax it in a day as the shellac dries BUT need to determine if the shellac will be ok for warm food OR if I need to put a varnish on top that hardens more.
Thoughts?
