Hi all I am finishing a pine door with a medium brown water based dye, then two coats of shellac then water based poly.
My problem is the dye on hardwood always colors everything evenly. The Pine is not acting that way.
It seems to have some issue.
When dyed it is even and uniform. But by the time the first coat of shellac is put on with a brush or foam brush the dye is not uniform.
Would I be better off spraying the shellac? If so the alchol is quite flamable and I need to turn off the water tank and furnance.
When I get home I will upload some pictures.
My very kind spouse says she likes the variation.
This is my first endevour with a closed cell softwood.
