Many thaks for your detailed response.I'm definitely going to experiment before I slay the cabinet dragon.
Questions: What exactly is a tack rag? I've been using a simple lint-free rag to wipe down b/w sanding coats.
Using the method where I apply the garnet shellac, how long would I let it dry before applying another coat?
If I do the dye stain method, when I do the second step (that is, sealing the stain with a 1lb cut of shellac) would I still use the garnet colored flakes? Or the dye stain?
Thanks for bearing with me. Much to experiment with!
The more I learn, the less I know. ;-)
