I'm beginning to focus on finishing what I've started.
It seems that sanding sealers are often applied to pieces at the beginning of the finishing process.
Any suggestions on a particular brand? I will be following up the sanding sealer with sanding (of course) then a shine juice application and more sanding (finer grit) and more juice etc..
Ultimately will apply a wax then buff out with a wheel. This schedule is not set in stone so anyone wanting to post their finishing process would be appreciated.
Back to the sanding sealer.
There are many brands and it seems that some are not shellac based. I'm leaning towards Zinnsler but I am wondering if this is just their regular shellac cut with alcohol? If anyone is cutting the regular shellac to make a sanding sealer what ratio of regular shellac to alcohol are you using? Should I just stick with the Zinnsler Sanding Sealer instead?
Is it not recommended to use the other sanding sealers (cellulose based or water based sanding sealers} under shellac/b.l.o./dna finishes? Again... I'm open to alternatives or what works for you.
Thanks in advance.
