| Post subject: | Vinyl sealer question |
I have a coat of shellac on my guitar and am ready to start the finishing process. What I would like to do is to grain fill with Z-Poxy. I understand that Z-Poxy does not do well over shellac. Could I spray vinyl sealer over the shellac and proceed to grain fill from there? Anyone have experience with this? |

Yes, you can and it works quite well. Make sure the shellac has dried thoroughly for 2 weeks because the vinyl sealer and Z-poxy will prevent the alcohol solvent from escaping. Next time, shoot the bare wood with vinyl sealer first. If you are using a catalyzed top coat then you will need to add the same catalyzed hardener to the vinyl sealer to retain compatibility. |

Tim, thank you. Yes, the shellac has been on over a month. Top coat will be nitro. I didn't have any vinyl sealer at the time and the weather was doing some threatening humidity shifts so I went with the shellac. This helps a lot. |
