Does this require paint or shellac?

You can use it without anything but I would recommend putting a coat of shellac or stain plus shellac

I finished mine with Liquid Plastic clear finish, much more durable than shellac. It is an imported wood somewhat like a butcher block design, but looks very nice when finished. I also put formica on the top to blend with our kitchen counter, making it very attractive, although you do not have to do that, it looked beautiful finished natural. Hope this helps. regards GG

It's just plain wood, so I guess you could do either...or both, or whatever you want. You could even decoupage cool pictures on it, then shellac over that!!

It depends on the item, but at most a light sand is all that is required. I have stained everything from bare wood to highly poly'd coffee tables. I would recommend more sanding if there is a thick poly coat or very shiny surface. Coverage was amazing over already stained surfaces.

As long as the paint is totally dry, you can use either latex or enamel. Personally, I like the look of enamel, but I also like the easier clean up of latex. The key is to make sure the paint is completely dry before applying the pour-on over the seashells.

I've had that happen with a couple of the shellacs if it's applied too thick. If it's not that bad, You would be surprised how much of that evens out once you put on the top coat.

No you have to have a spray gun.. Remember it's lacquer paint and it doesn't harden i sanded mine completely off and used a urethane paint like i should have in the first place. This was a waste of money.. Go to The Coating Store.com

not necessary. it is painted very well, i don't think it could rust that easy.

Painting is optional. If you are happy with the original look, then it should not be a big issue. I didn't paint mine either. Good Luck!

You do not have to paint it. If you want to add some small details, it is up to you. But entirely, it is not needed.

Nope it does not need painting, it is molded in the coloured plastic, and comes with stickers for the eyes & circular chest window.

With any shellac polish I only use a UV light. Don't know enough of the difference between LED & UV. I would seek a Google answer.

I used it to paint shells and it looks great and glows pretty good as for painting glass jars it paints clear just don't glob a bunch on. I recommend the green for the longest glow it does glow for awhile.

No paint touch up kit was included. Any black flat paint would work - something like rust - o - leum might be best.

I would say gloss. Not sure how it would absorb airbrush or acrylic though.

Hi Shannon, Yes you can use this light with Shellac. Shellac and Gel are similar products. They both look beautiful like polish but last for several weeks without chipping or smudging. Your nails will look freshly painted all the time. Shellac is a brand name from CND. I do not know why it cost more, maybe research and development... Gel lasts a little longer but both are great products. Both need to be soaked off to remove. Good luck....Happy Holidays...Alex

Yes, you should be able to use any base of varnish, water or oil based based, shellac, lacquer, polyurethane (water or oil based).Pretty sure that it says that in the description.

There is a glossy finish (clear coat) but you could easily paint it. Use a basic primer first. A stain probably would not work.
