Does Deft go bad?
In the middle of reading the shellac thread, it occurs to me that Deft
might also go bad. Does it? The question is because I have nearly a gallon left over from my kitchen remodel of the early 80s (remodel is a layman's term for completely gutting it and building anew!). I made the cabinets from select white birch and finished them with Deft, absolutely beautiful! (It broke my heart to leave it all behind, my heart and soul were in that kitchen I remodeled after 13 years of a 1900 kitchen that even had the sink in a separate room, like a pantry!) For Christmas this year, my two older sons each have a set of bookshelves. The middle son wanted theirs painted so that was easy (also finished and delivered). The oldest, however, wants his left natural so I plan to finish them with Deft. I've not even opened the can so am not sure what condition it's in so this question may be irrelevant anyway, but I'm still curious. If it appears good, I sure don't want to mess up two 6-foot tall bookshelves if it does go bad. Twenty years is a long time, after all, and I *don't* want to do extra sanding to get it off to do it right. Moving forward with the idea that this is unusable and no longer sold (the only places I've asked don't have it, but have something else "just like it"), what would give as good a finished (no pun intended) result as Deft?
