Hi everyone,
sorry to write in English (I'm spanish). I could translate with Google translate, but not sure if that would be a good idea
I am trying to find a wood grain sealer to apply before staining the wood. I am creating a coffee table from steigerhout (douglas) and want to stain it to donker eiken, but as we know, soft woods tend to have a blotchy finish when stained (pine/fir/douglas even more).
I was wondering if shellac as sanding sealer would be a good option (or any other product you could recommend).
I could not find online (Gamma, Rambo.nl, ...) a proper wood grain sealer with no color. I found something on Toolstation (Zwaluw woodsealer coating wit 750g) but it is white and also very thick.
I have Shellac Sanding sealer from Baptist (running out of, that is the reason why looking for something different), so:
Almost all brands I see in Youtube videos (Zinsser Seal Coat, ...) are from USA and not easy to find here.
Thank you very much for your time

- Will Shellac be a good option or will block the stain from penetrating the wood?
- Where can I buy shellac flakes and denatured alcohol? Maybe what I am missing is the dutch working for denatured alcohol. (I just found this site for shellac flakes Schellakvlokken/Shellac flakes 0,5kg – Natuurverfwebshop)
- Any other suggestion to seal the grain but allowing the stain to penetrate?
