Shellac


Recommended Posts

I was at Lowes looking for some deft sanding sealer when I saw shellac in a spray can. I know that people use shellac as sealears on guitars.

Has anyone used it from the spray can? If so how did it turn out?

I need to seal the sides and binding before staining the top (Myka's tutorial).

The spray cans of Zinnser:s work great. Just remember to not try to spray for more than a short time. The tip will cool down and it'll act funny sometimes. Use lots of light coats to avoid runs, and let the body warm back up between coats to avoid hazing.

That is the EXACT problem I have with spray shellac! You call it "hazing", huh? My shop is almost always too cool (I hope) so I should turn off the air and shoot it hot. Shellac rules for a lot of finishing! :D
