Warm Weather and a Good Time to Spray Shellac
It was a warm day today by comparison to what weather we have been having it got up to 45F.
I am able to open the shop door and run a exhaust fan to help remove the spray mist. I wear a mask with new cartridges. I mixed up some dark and blonde de-waxed shellac yesterday so I was all set to go. I wait between 15 to 30 minutes between spray coats. I use a 1 1/2 lb cut to spray and adjust the spray gun to apply a light coat to help prevent runs. So, all went pretty well and the shellac is applied. Now I will wait 4 or 5 days before I sand and steel wool to remove the dust nubs and orange peel. So here is today's short video.
Very nicely done Dave. That one warm day is just what you needed.

Thanks, I guess the warm day is over since we had 3 inches of snow over night. Just lucky I could squeeze it in. Now I have to pick a new project, any ideas are welcomed
