FINISHING WITH SHELLAC

More and more woodworkers are choosing traditional methods of 4. The pad is always ‘charged’ by opening the fabric and filling the cotton finishing rather than quick fix solutions that don’t age well. Shellac is an wadding from the back. ancient finish that gives a lustrous depth to timber and works well on both Polishing contemporary and traditional furniture. This is not ‘true’ French Polishing, but it is a much- simplified version that Surface Preparation I have gotten very good results with. It will however give you the feel of the A good finish can be achieved by sanding with 400 grit – 600 grit product. To begin polishing, charge the pad and gently squeeze it through . It is essential to work your way gradually up through the grades until you see it seep through the face of the pad, the flow of material is of sandpaper, for example; 180 grit, 220 grit, 280 grit, 320 grit, 400 grit and controlled by the amount of pressure you apply to the back. so on. This reduces the chance of coarser scratches being left behind. I To apply your first coat, lightly pass the pad over the surface with just usually use aluminium oxide sandpaper in the lower grades and switch to enough pressure on the pad to allow even coverage, don’t let it pool, wet and dry from 400 grit onwards (I use this dry). particularly at the edges. Lift the pad up and away from the ends to Wetting Down prevent this. Once the entire surface is coated let it dry and then rub it No matter what your choice of finish is, it’s a good idea to “wet down” your workpiece after fine sanding. When you apply a stain or finish to your prepared surface, it will always raise the grain, requiring you to sand quite heavily between coats. To avoid this, wipe the surface with a damp sponge (not too wet), then let it dry and sand it back with 400 grit or finer sandpaper, then repeat the process. When you apply your first coat of stain or finish the grain will stay relatively flat and sealed. You will still need back with fine sandpaper. (400gr – 600 gr) to sand it back lightly between coats but to a much lesser extent. If you want to use the shellac as a sealer about one to two coats is enough Using Shellac to fill up the grain, after rubbing back you can then proceed with your Shellac in flake form should be mixed with industrial grade methylated wax or oil topcoats. If you want a fuller finish with shellac you will need to spirits that you can purchase from hardware stores or shops, continue building your coats until you achieve some ‘depth’. After about household varieties contain water and degrade the polish. White shellac is six coats it is less necessary to sand between coats because you start to shellac that is dewaxed and bleached to give a much clearer finish. This is work and ‘pull up’ the body of polish that is already there. Allow time for often used on blonde timbers. the layers to dry and leave it overnight before you work it too much further.

This is of drops of raw or paraffin oil on the base it will lubricate it and a piece of cotton wadding with a piece of cotton cloth wrapped around it, make it work more smoothly. I have even used olive oil for this purpose. the wadding is the reservoir that holds the shellac. The flow is controlled Don’t use too much or it will become streaky.
