This may be a little OT given that it's related to wood + shellac, but the wood are bike grips. I'm in the process of refinishing some dia- compe wood grips. This is the first time i have used shellac, and definately the first time with wood. I'm using a can of premixed amber zinnser from the hardware store.
I sanded down the grips and restained last week and then over the weekend applied a few coats. Overall i'm pretty happy with it but this being my first time i know i made a few mistakes. The biggest being i think i applied it on too thick, so it's not completly smooth, there are runs etc. Is there an easy way to smooth these out? Could i go over them with denat-alcohol and smooth it out? Fine grit sandpaper? Functionally i think they are fine and i could live with them, but if there is a trick to polish them out i'd like to give it a try. Here's a link to the work in progress, http://flic.kr/s/aHsjwLUQVY i also did my first kickstand too, looks good, but not sure if i could use a shellac'd bar full time on the handlebars, maybe for the secondary areas... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
