Hi,
I am finishng a wood project and want to get a high-gloss, piano-type finish. I am using Zinsser Bulls Eye SealCoat de-waxed (which I believe is a #2 shellac). I have three coats on at the moment and want to build up a few more so I can rub out the finish without getting down to the wood. I have a few long brush strokes that came with the second coat. I put a third coat on top of that to see if the brush strokes would desolve but they are still there. My question is, do I have to sand the brush storkes out after every coat or wait until I apply a final coat and then do the leveling? Will I see the brush strokes under the surface after the finish is rubbend out?
Other random questions:
How many coats is recommended for a finish that will be rubbed out?
Should I thin the shellac for the last few coat?
Should I apply the final coats by rubbing it on with a pad?
Thanks.
