I’m trying to decide what to put on the top of the lower case of a chest-on-chest I’m making. I’m looking for something tough and repairable that I can apply with a brush or a rag. The chest top in question is veneered.
Most of the chests’ exterior surfaces are Waterloxed. (The interiors are shellacked.) The upper chest is heavy; I would expect it to mar a Waterloxed surface that hadn’t cured indefinitely.
Shellac appeals to me because it looks nice and seems unlikely to cause problems in future repair efforts. But I don’t know whether shellac is hard and tough enough for this application. Brushing lacquer? Arm-R-Seal? (Is it hard to repair Arm-R-Seal on veneer?)
I’d appreciate any thoughts.
