One coat of shellac works well for me. The problem I have is that it
usually takes 3-4 coats of white paint to cover the darkness of the shellac
so you can't see it. I'd like to use something lighter in colour like a
polyurethane but I'm wondering if has the same sealing results of shellac.


Use a blond or super blond shellac.
