    Default U Beaut Hard Shellac

    Hi.

    I have stained a guitar body and neck with u beaut dye stains and applied a couple of coats of U Beaut de waxed white shellac.

    This is my first real 'outing' and as far as I can tell things are going OK (since the timbermate filler takes stain)

    I was trying to decide whether to finish up with spray can clear nitro cellulose or U Beaut hard shellac.

    Is there any reason why I couldn't use both?

    Would I have to wait till the hard shellac cures before lightly sanding and continuing with the spray can Nitrocellulose?

    TIA

    shelac is so asy to apply by hand, why bother spraying, i just make a little rubber and it comes up shiny in no time, if that nitrosoxide, ahhh i mean nitro cellulose can b used with shelac than a topcoat of that would make it really tough...maybe the hard shelac is enough, only do what is necessary ...

    what's a spray can of nitro worth ?
