We build custom kitchen, bath and rec room cabinets and restore classic
mahogany boats. My wife is the expert on the cabinet finishing and I do the
boat finishes. We both do the woodworking on the cabinets and boats.

Since shellac is not a readily available as it once was she had gone to
sanding sealer. It is easy to use, readily available and does a good job.
I also use sanding sealer on the boats. I apply two coats, sanding in
between.

We have perfected our process where we can turn out good results with
reliability. I think the most important point is to find a process that you
can make work, then stick with it and improve on it. By making changes to
many products you never get good at any one of them.

Zinsser "SealCoat", sold as a sanding sealer, is in reality a 1 pound
cut of dewaxed shellac.

Hey Don. I'd love to see some pictures. The old Rivas were some of
the most beautiful boats ever made.
