I'm not sure exactly what you want or why you want to use it on cherry but a 1 pound cut of dewaxed shellac will serve as a nice washcoat. You can make something close enough quickly by adding one volume of alcohol to one volume of Seal-Coat. This wash coat will minimize blotching or uneven finish aborption.
Good Luck.
What's the project? What's the topcoat? Flexner recommends orange shellac for cherry or walnut for its warm tone. You'll need dewaxed orange if you're topcoating, HD doesn't carry, Woodcraft is overpriced; order off the net.
If you're *topcoating* with shellac (*nothing* looks better on cherry), the waxy orange Zinnser stuff from HD is fine.

I'd send you my TS55, but I returned it for an HL50-e. Sorry.
OK. The 75 will have to do, then. I already have a nice hand electric planer.

Hell, doesn't bother me. If someone wants to filter me then who am I to complain? The people here whose knowledge and skills that I respect don't appear to have any problem with me and that's all that counts as far as I'm concerned.

How many hundred has it been so far, here? I have to stop exposing your phoney ass.

The fact you are being 'haunted' by IT says volumes for *your* credibility. You are annoying the edjut :-) Only yesterday - in Usenet terms - IT thought you well worth some "realigning". Message-ID:

The *only* thing you expose with every message is your remarkable lack of intelligence. It's truly a wonder you found out how to turn a computer on.
Hi, I'm teaching myself the proper conditioning procedures for cherry and I need to preseal it. Can anyone recommend a brand of presealer for the cherry? Thanks.
I use a 1/2 pound coat or two of shellac.
I'm still having problems accessing up-to-date posts. I have no idea if my replies are posting, as no recent posts have shown up, for me. Would someone email me a new link, cedarsonny at aol dot com , to see if that might help me.
I think Flexner, Marks and other references are correct. Seems the basic idea is with the use of an oil, in some capacity, initially. Here's another link that may help:
