Zinsser Seal Coat
Based on a recommendation, I mixed a 60/40 solution of Seal Coat & Mineral Spirits as a sealer. Dries very quickly. I'm using this on my protos. I've been soaking hard maple & yellow birch in it for about 6 minutes. It's dry within about 90 minutes.
I probably should have used denatured alcohol to cut it, as that is the base.
Anyone else try this stuff?

It's ~$8.00/qt.
A tall, 9.5" pickle jar cost about $20 to fill ($12.00 for 1.5 qts of Seal Coat, $7.00 for a quart of Mineral Spirits).

Seal coat is dewaxed shellac and is alcohol(denatured)based and doesn't "mix" with mineral spirits.It is only guaranteed under clear coats for interior applications.Shellac simply is not made for any type of exterior application,it doesn't play well with moisture and temp changes.Using it as a sealer on plugs is asking for failure.
You need to use some type of oil based product.I personally like a 60/40 mix of Penetrol and Naphtha.It ain't gonna dry as quick as shellac but it will actually seal the wood.

Isn't BINS primer shellac-based? I understand a lot of people prime with that. |
