Is Deft lacquer sanding sealer adequate to protect wood used for shop equipment stands. I mean as far as protecting the wood against moisture. I want to use something that dries faster than the poly that took over 12 hours recently. I need to spray enamel paint on part of this project, but mostly it will be the sanding sealer unless consensus says I still need poly or something else for a top coat.
Better to use just some lacquer for the top coat. Sanding Sealer is lacquer with stearates added to ease cutting back/leveling before adding the topcoats. The experts say those additives make it a little too soft to us as a top coat. But if your only concern is moisture and not durability, and it's what you already have on hand, it would probably do all right.

Three coats of blonde 1- 1/2 lbs. cut shellac. Blast it one with a cheap brush, think and quick ! I'm serious. Those throw away off whit brushes, just pull the loose hairs out of them first. You could get some Zinnser Bullseye Shellac in the can and cut it with ? 2-3 lb. cut from the can YOU figure it out DAVE. I'm still P.O.ed I typed all that stuff on trying to get you to buy a Powermatic 66, and you went and bought a Delta! I called you a trader instead of a traitor.You took it in stride. Thank GOD ,I spell lousy and you caught it before I did , or my spell checker. Dave I recently started using Shellac, Went to College of the Redwoods, years ago. Short program, Summer session. Just starting to use some of the things I learned there, No more girlfriend, time for real, fun like working wood now! I got tired of reading, and decided to actually push wood thru, THE JOINTER/ THE PLANER, Then THE SAW.
Shellac my man, dries FAST and works great for jigs. P.S. : I'm just North of you in Sonoma County. Shellac likes a wee cool temps. Dries a little slower, like us not as fast as we used to be, painters/ woodworkers. I'm only 41 but I feel more , patient now,. As James Krenov would say : Worry the wood. Here' what I mean. http://www.wood-workers.com/users/charlieb/KrenovPondering.html
And check out Charlie's page , extremely well written page on woodwork. Lurk like I do and You'll find the good woodworkers here. Thanx Mr. Self!

I know, I know...the Powermatic almost made the cut, but I kept looking at the Unisaw sitting next to it and it just didn't seem necessary for me to pony up an extra $600 bucks. plus the fence thing... PLEASE FORGIVE ME! <G>
If I want to use what I have, that would be the sealer, but I'm 5 blocks from HD. I wonder if they sell shellac flakes. For a shop project, is premixed shellac ok and will it provide as good a moisture barrier as the deft sanding sealer?

Ah, I hadn't realized just what the diff. is between regular lacquer and the Deft sealer. I guess for what I'm doing today, it would be ok. Thanks for this info!

I built some coat racks summer before last,for our mud room(coat, hat,and boot room that Momma won't allow in the house) and used a premixed Amber Shellac I got from Woodcraft. The mud room isn't heated and the racks so far look brand new...No cracks in the shellac, or anything...Temps in there are only a few degrees above the low temps outside...Plus the Amber Shellac brought out the beauty in the Ambrosia Maple boards I used...

Thanks for posting, Cody. I have GOT to remember to pick up shellac flakes somewhere around here. Don't know who carries them. Would Sherwin Williams have that?
