Just wondering... but let me give you a little info first... I used a pore fill method that Robbie Obrien uses where he uses a one pound cut of shellac with sawdust from a shaker of whatever wood you are wanting to pore fill, that way you keep your wood color. he shakes the dust on the wood then uses a cotton ball with the shellac on it and rubs the dust into the pores.. It drys very quickly and fills nicely. So I did that and I began to french polish over the pore fill.. and found out quickly that the french polish was taking out the pore fill..actually found out the next day when I looked at the instrument and wondered... where the heck is the is the fill????
So... Im wondering if it is possible to spray the pore fill with either sanding sealer or Nitrocellulose lacquer before the french polish so that the pore fill stays intact. Then french polish it.
I know the reason why the pores became unfilled as the french polish is pretty much the same method as the pore fill method except your using a 2 pound cut of shellac and a tad of oil but without the sawdust. Thus pulling out all that was filled..
Thanks for any comments...
