Stan's comment above is something I've wondered and dealt with for too many years to tell. I mean, why would a person after spending either or both untold hours and dollars on some primo piece of wood and stock production want to save a couple insignificant bucks on something like cheeeeper sealer for something as long-term important as sealing? Personally I've found the scrooge urge very difficult to overcome and have to constantly remind myself that life is too short to get wound up about such stupid things. And that the dollars I leave behind will just be pissed away by someone else anyway hahaha
JMO of course - - feel free to pinch the pennies
My use of shellac is not in order to save money. I only mentioned the difference in cost as an afterthought. My gunsmithing mentor used shellac and recommended it to me. I have never found a fault with it. If you can
prove to me that cyanoacrylate is superior to shellac for sealing insetted areas I will certainly change gears.
Can you?
