I'm in the middle of refinishing an old desk, and it's going to be long and tedious.
When I paint or refinish, I like to do the WHOLE piece- the back, the sides and insides of the drawers, etc. The outside pieces will be finished with stain, a coat of shellac, and wiping varnish. I'm wondering if I can finish the sides/insides of the drawers with Polyshades?
Those areas don't have to be perfect, but my neurosis prevents me from just leaving them as bare wood. It seems like too much work to do the same finishing steps as the outside of the piece, but on the other hand, seems wasteful (and possibly problematic) to use a completely different product.
Could I get by with just a coat of stain and a coat of shellac?
