Welcome! / Forums / Project Series / Craftsman-style Lamp / "to glue or not to glue" that is the question
i am about to finish the “craftsman-style lamp” and was thinking of a shellac finish which i love. but now i have it together i am thinking should i appply shellac before i glue up as i feel it will be difficult once the glass is in place. i am just wondering is it that important to coat all surfaces .can i leave the inside alone ?even if i mask off the glass i still feel it will be awkward .i would wait for the fuming process but it is a present .a confused finisher
Great work David)why you afraid to use masking tape? I think you can apply two coats of shellac before glue up to the spots which close to the glass.
Your project look really cool)
Cheers
Hi,
I’ve reached the same point now with my lamp, trying to figure out how to finish it. Did you guys that used shellac on it have any feedback now that you’ve gone through it? Anything you’d do different if you had it to do over?
Thanks.
