I’m doing some testing with shellac. The picture is of a mahogany test board. I applied a wash coat of shellac and then the StewMac‘s Colortone grain filler. Next, I brushed on a few heavy coats of shellac and sanded it flat. By the time I sanded out the brush marks the shellac was pretty thin. So I tried to shoot a couple of coats to see if that worked better. I thinned out the 3-pound shellac I was using and shot a couple of thin coats.
Now I’m getting these tiny dimples in the finish they go pretty deep. I think they were bubbles.
So how can I avoid this?
The temperature was pretty warm maybe 75° and humidity he was somewhat high.
I sprayed two very thin light coats.
I wonder if I didn’t thin the shellac enough or was it to warm
Thanks
