I just finished making a plywood door for a game cabinet The

original

door had been made of particle board, but the 3/8" lip on both ends


had begun to disintegrat over the years.


Since the disadvantage in using plywood is that it tends to warp,

is

there a good way to seal it to prevent this before I prime and


paint?

I'm not going for a clear finish. The door has to be primed and

Clear or painted surface has NOTHING to do with sealing the surface.

You wanted a sealer which is what dewaxed shellac does and it also
serves as a primer for the raw materials.
