Shellac is a good sealer for painting but it doesn't protect against
water. If for indoors furniture, shellac is OK but will not protect
against water.

Shellac it. Or poly. Or drywall compound and paint.


I have a new can of Minwax Spar varnish, do you think that would work?

I used a couple of coats of that on my aquarium stand to seal the exposed PB
(back) and it seems OK. But it's only been a couple of months. I don't
imagine this stuff can be painted over too well though, Shellac is probably
a better choice if you want to paint it after.
