Shellac

Rolling Thunder · 2004-07-03T00:07:48+00:00

I understand shellac may be used as a sealer, barrier coat. Does thatwork with latex paint? I've made some shelves that attach to the walland plan on painting gross white latex. Could I use shellac as aprimer/barrier for this purpose? The shelves are for indoors to placesome pictures on for the wife.Appreciate the feedback,Thunder

I misspoke. B-I-N is a three pound cut. I agree with you about the ease of sanding. As shellac, it sands well but it can be a real pain to use in hot weather as it dries so fast. I'm starting to add little retarder to it

I usually recommend starting with Flexner for a good overview, then getting all of Jewitt's books. Besides a variety of techniques, IMHO he includes more practical information on the fine points than anybody else.
