two questions first is it possible to seal coat with shellac then apply BLO to cherry
or will the shellac seal the wood and then the BLO will just sit on top ?
i am trying to slightly darken cherry BLO works great for that and i have used it a lot in the past
but BLO leaves splotches on cherry with busy grain patterns .
some times i do not care if it splotches / highlights the grain this time i do
also will general finish water base be as durable as there oil base?
i always use oil base this time i would like to use an hvlp gun and water base is so much easier clean up
