This weekend I'll be working on some case molding in our house - clear pine. In the past I've tried;
My normal finishing routine has been a wash coat of dewaxed shellac followed by several coats of a wipe on satin poly. I'm considering just going with shellac on this job, finishing everything on the bench and just doing touch up once installed.
Is this a good way to go? How do you guys handle the filling of the nail holes? What do you use and when do you use it.
- putting it up unfinished, filling in the nail holes and then applying the finish
- putting on all but the last coat of finish, installing it, then filling nail holes and putting on the last coat
