<DIV>Hi guys -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I concur with Roger, I have found shellac to be very reliable in =
this
regard. Apply the equivalent of a 2 lb cut (two coats of a 1 lb cut=
works). If the shellac is fresh, I have never had trouble recoating=
in
as little as 2 hours with something like enamel or lacquer. As an =
added
precaution, you might consider using dewaxed shellac to promote better
adhesion of the topcoat,</DIV>
