Hey @tej
Many thanks for the information buddy.
Good to know it’s not a disaster yet for me.

@tej Yes it is transparent, the stuff I’ve used is called “Sand and Seal”. This is the first time I’ve used it, so can’t vouch for its suitability or longevity yet. It’s water based and I’ve tried adding water based… Read more»

@koendb @tej @russ Thanks for your kind wishes and thoughts, I’m sure Gina is going to fine after her treatment. Yes the grain filler is to try and get as smooth a surface as I can before lacquering. It’s not… Read more»
