I'm approaching the point in my building where I will need to route/trim the top/back and rosette channel. I've searched through the archives and elsewhere, and it seems that shellac is recommended prior to routing to prevent tearout, and in the rosette channel to stop the ca glue getting sucked up by the wood. It has also been stated that shellac is compatible with most finishes, but will it have to be sanded away after routing, if the wood is to be dyed. Even if the wood isn't going to be dyed, would it show up under a finish.
Secondly, for convenience I've seen various tins of Shellac sanding sealer here in the UK, but none seem to indicate whether they are de-waxed or not. Opinions state only use if de-waxed. Has anyone any experience with these? Thanks , Mike.
