hey there -
just wanted to run something by you dudes/dudettes to get some opinions.
im up to the final stages of finishing a recycled messmate bookcase ive been working on. ive applied one coat of heavily diluted hard white shellac (1:8), one coat of 1:1 diluted hard white shellac and plan on applying one more lighly diluted coat (75% shellac). between each application, ive been lighly sanding with 360+ sandpaper.
at this point, i plan to finish up by buffing the timber with 0000 steel wool - the question i have is, should i use ubeaut's traditional wax whilst using the steel wool? how would this impact the finish? will it change the color of the timber?
my ideal finish is a soft satin sheen.... any advice would be much appreciated.
thanks, timbertom.
