Can I apply clear coat or shellac over it ? can I brush shellac at its edge so that it stays permanently on the wood?

Yes i would think so. It adhears pretty good on it own and is pretty durable. It wont soak it up or get waterspots either.

You could do that so it stays on but keep in mind it comes with 3M on the bottom, but if you wanted it permanently, then I would suggest to do that.

I would use a paste wood polish and apply it by hand with a pad or soft rag. Use the buffer to shine when the polish has set a few minutes. Don't overdo it by exerting a lot of pressure on the table top.

For anyone who might be faced with a similar problem, it's possible to mix the amber and clear shellac. Just keep track of the proportions on your test piece. With a little care, you can get the color awfully close to the original oxidized wood.

I use this wax on top of Heirloom Traditions chalky paints and always put a coat of clear paste wax over it on wood items. I am no expert in paints or anything and just do trial and error on projects. You might even use a matte finish spray clear top coat on the wood and that should seal it if you are worried about transfer to clothing. I think Briwax has an online tutorial too you might want to view on their website. Hope this answers your question and if you have any other questions just let me know.

If you are wanting to paint and use the shellac as a seal since paint really doesnt need anything over it....that would work....I use the shellac as a covering over areas that arent going to get much "traffic" Anything with a lot of wear/tear I would use a urethane....But a good paint, I have always thought of as a sealer and a protection not needing urethane or a lacquer/shellac, If you do put a coating over the paint. dont apply it for at least 10 days to make sure your paint is dry. Depending, of course, on the type of paint. Other wise the paint could remain uncured under the coating....I found that out the hard way.

I used paint tap along the edges. It worked well on the flat parts. Not so perfect on the corners. I kept it thin and watched it close.

I've never tried brushing it, but I think that would work. Dry wood absorbs it easily. But it leaves a whitish residue on the surface after it dries, so that might hinder staining. That I can't help you with. Try it out first in an out of the way corner.

I spray it on but I do not see why it could not be brushed on and still get results. As long as the logs get saturated with the product it should work.Good luck.

Use a wax remover or good wood cleaner first and perhaps rough the surface with scotch bright then it will stick and seal. This is the best wood coating I have ever used and I think you will like the results also. Good luck, Old Nick.

A little Daddy Van's* goes a long way! You only need to apply a small amount with a cotton cloth, and, if your wood is dry and undernourished, allow the polish to sit and penetrate for a few minutes. Then buff any excess from the surface thoroughly with a clean, dry cotton cloth (an old T-shirt is perfect!) Follow these instructions and your furniture will glow with health. The finish will not be shiny. It will look nourished and richer... and your wood will definitely feel loved.

I cannot answer this question from experience, but based on what I experienced using the veneer over painted wood, it seems that if the vinyl was sound that the adhesive, which is very strong, would adhere fine. You could get some sand paper with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing and see how it sticks. Make sure the vinyl is dry and clean and perhaps lightly sanding with 100 or so sand paper. If you decide to apply the veneer it is, in my opinion, worth getting the application tool (blade not roller). My bottom line is: I would give it a try - it is a very good product.

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.

it might work / painted surface could be any formulation and this stuff will bond with latex acrylics best / go over surface with steel wool or scotch or sanding pad to get a fresh clean surface then coat with vermont stuff / 3 or more coats ,foam brush ,wipe on or spray ,fine scotch pad before final coat / good luck / what-a-ya got to lose ;Ron ps if it doesn't work try a light coat of shellac before the vermont

I brushed mine with a food-grade oil rather than a stain to make it resist water at least for a while. This type of wood can also be left alone.

Not sure if it's "wood", but it's definitely painted so I would believe you could easily paint over it. Side note: I have had this for a few months now and it gets heavy use and abuse as we keep a lot of daily used item on it and it has held up very well thus far. Still very happy with this purchase.

I have not used mine yet so I can't really answer your question . I was just going to add to finished nail then add a clear coat over . I'm pretty sure you could if you wanted but they are pretty small . I hope this helped :-)

This is THE stuff for blocking bad odors. I know from selling paint and owning an evil cat that it fully blocks cat pee, mold, soot/smoke, nicotine, etc on any hard surface (cat pee in carpet always requires replacing the pad underneath so spray or paint shellac over the sub-floor while it's accessible) If you intend to paint over the item or it's for walls use the shellac primer which has a white tint instead of the clear. Some older antiques (before 20th century) were finished with shellac so test a spot with alcohol for softening of the finish; shellac dissolves the finish of only shellac so all other finishes (or unfinished wood) are safe. Even if it's a valuable piece that will possibly be restored it's easily removed. Shellac is also a non-toxic finish once dry so it's safe for children's toys and food prep areas. As long as you aren't inhaling the alcohol fumes on purpose it can be used safely indoors. Not good for soft materials as it is solely a surface coating.
