Avoid using shellac on your valuable furnitures....

Today i am going to discuss about use of shellac on your valuable furniture and wooden articles.
It is a very old process where carpenters used to mix shellac( Laak wax in general term used by carpenters) with  spirit and powder colors to polish the woods and moreover they used to mix chalk powder along with shellac and spirit to fill the pour of wood, no matter it is a very popular process among painter and carpenters but to be very frank its very harmful for your furniture .
The Right way is to fill your wood pours with Wood fillers (easily available in market) and then spray one coat of plain wood sealer , sand it with P400 abrasive , apply 2nd coat wood sealer mixed with wood stainer (available in market) again sand it with P400or P320 abrasives, and finally apply polyurethane clear coat ( Glossy or matt) and give your wood better finish and durability.
Thank you Very Much..............................................
