I have been using this stuff exclusively as a pre-treatment for blotchy woods that I plan on staining or dyeing. Really amazing stuff. https://charlesneilwoodworking.3dcartstores.com/?AffId=2 Have you tried Charles Neil’s blotch control?

I run a custom one-off business building guitars. I like the forgiving qualities of shellac in general - but I cannot use this unless an amber cast is desired. Have tried many sanding sealers, not to mention sealing with the nitro as well (takes forever). Thing is - neon blue tranparent finishes are desireble with these pieces - so choices are limited. Any ideas for sealer that works well with dyes on smaller production runs? I use dyes, as stains are never anywhere close to the desired colors. Of course, if it's shellac, I just just go for the classic French rub finish - if abmering is a plus on a natural type of finish ... Thanks again for the great casts!

It makes it a bit less gummy and easier to work with. Another sealing method that we have used for keeping a stain uniform is white glue. Use 1 part Weldbond glue with 5 parts water. It is a porous sealer so stain will still penetrate the wood but will go on even. We use Bullseye Shellac and thin it out using methyl hydrate. It makes it a bit less gummy and easier to work with.

More than anything, the show is a reflection of what's going on in my life. And the past few months have been insanely busy. Ever since IWF in August, its been nonstop. Not to mention I did 12 episodes on the gadget station alone. I did one little skit during that series but as time went on, there was just less and less to laugh about. I think we all wanted to see that project come to a close. So worry not , my friend. The funny will come back. But I promised myself from the beginning that i would never force the comedy. Its bad enough as it is. Imagine if I forced it. While the show will never be stiff and serious, I can’t always promise it will be funny.

I have checked out your two new sites - good move to separate the vids in the .tv, and good clear layout. I have been re-watching some of your old videos and wonder where the old jovial Mark has gone, I think the comedian along with the information was what set you apart in the early days, and I think there's certainly room to bring him back! Let's put the 'chuck' back in chuckle! Thanks for the info and link Mark! I have checked out your two new sites – good move to separate the vids in the .tv, and good clear layout.

Thanks!
