Hello,
I'm building an end table for SWMBO's brother-in-law for Christmas (yeah, I'm a little behind schedule, but SWMBO suggested it on 12/15 and I wasn't done with my other stuff yet so I gave them an "artist's rendering" until I could get to it).
Anyway, the rest of their furniture is heavy (8/4 tops) duty pine with what looks like a pigmented wax finish. I don't really like it but they love it. I noticed their dining room table is losing a lot of the color where they wipe it off when done. Which makes sense since wax isn't a film finish or anything.
I found a colored wax that will match their furniture (tried it on some scraps) but I was wondering if I could protect it a little bit by brushing (or wiping) on some super blonde shellac (Zinsers Seal Coat) over the top? Would that work? Or would the wax actually prevent a good adhesion for the shellac?
Thanks, Mike
