A lot has changed in 20 years. I've never had a problem with EnduroVar or Enduro Clear Poly, but I have seen EnduroVar get damaged by a leaky teapot sitting on a cloth pad for a few hours, so it can happen. If you want bullet proof I would choose a conversion varnish or 2K poly. TC's EM8000CV is well liked and I'm told it sprays like a dream.

John, do you have any experience with targets shellac water based sealer trying to figure out weather I use should Seal coat (cut 50 % with alcohol per Jeff, at target recommended ) or try the waterborne shellac it says and depicts that it will add amber. I'm going to use the EM 8000 w cross linker additive for a top coat.

Sorry Tim, no experience with TC's WB shellac. If I remember your thread correctly you are planning to apply new finish over an existing finish. If that's correct, I would use Sealcoat as the barrier/bond coat. It sticks to everything and most everything sticks to it. If you want a more amber color, add your choice of Transtint dye. Honey Amber is a good choice.

Thanks John actually I'm applying finish to raw maple plain and figured and am trying to match a pre finished maple plywood so far I've tried Zinsser clear shellac its very close thus the interest in it Jeff at target coatings said the EM 8000 will work with seal coat diluted 50 % with alcohol, I just am wondering if it would all perform better with there water based shellac. I'll figure it out as you said some trans tint honey amber would get me there if it needs jumped up a bit.
