Bye bye BLO....

If cure (dry time) is not a problem stay with a proven method. I still think BLO/MS beats most.

I've been using a method employed by a down-east old salt wooden boat builder.

50/50 mix zinsser shellac and denat'd alcohol. I know there are some who don't like shellac for these applications, but if it worked on his wooden boats for years, its good enough for me (works perfect from my tests so far too)
