Hello all,
Before I get carried away testing and making a miliion samples, whats everyones thoughts on the best finish for a Maple Veneer? Thus far I am thinking of sealing the veneer with a "SealCoat" from Zinsser, and then a generic lacquer, 4 or 5 layers and then hand rubber for a Matte - Semi Gloss finish.
I spent the entire evening last night watching youtube movies of different opinions, thoughts and processes, and I am now more confused that enlightened.
Anyone with first hand experience on this process?
Will the SealCoat react with the glue in anyway and cause it to dissolve or pull away from the MDF/Plywood? Or even the Lacquer?
What is the best for a hand rubbing a finish on - Lacquer or a Polyeurathane?
What is the best combination of sealers/clear top coats that ensures I can keep the colour of the wood/maple as light as possible? I was hoping for a very light maple color and not have any amber effect... but dont really want to bleech.
Let me know if you have any experience,
Thanks
