Hmmm, it is dewaxed, though?

I ordered it from www.woodfinishingsupplies.com. Great price.. At $22.99 +
UPS Ground ($6.98), that's $14/can cheaper than Rockler.

1 year should be plenty of shelf life.

Brian.

I think it's written on the can, around 1 year ... I think. Paint some on a
stick, and if it dries in a few hours, it's good. Keep stirring it. Tom

If you don't stir Zinnser shellac, the wax will settle out. The clear
stuff on top is dewaxed shellac. Keep stirring only if the wax is
desired.

My small, local hardware stocks a couple of cans just for me. You still have
one of those? I don't know what I will do when it isn't there anymore.

Never mind the shelf *life* -- where's the shelf? I can't seem to find it at
any of our local Borgs.

Doug,
I gave up on HD some time ago . . . at least when it comes to anything that
wasn't on the shelf. {And how many times have you found something on the
shelf after an 'employee' has SWORN to you that they didn't have it ??}

Look around your neighborhood. In mine there is a small, independent, paint
store that carries it. I only use it occasionally for sealing wood edges.
Primarily, I use it for sealing the surface of Hardboard before I glue full
size plans & parts of plans. After the pieces are carefully cut out, I then
seal the edges. 1/8in are my 'Drawing' templates, and 1/4in are my 'Router'
templates.

Because of this I buy it in Quarts . . . $6.95 per. Gallons would obviously
be a 'degree of scale' cheaper, but a quart may last a year . . . depending
on what I'm doing.

Regards & Good Luck,
Ron Magen

I LOVE those locally operated hardware stores, where people give a bleep.

A few questions concerning this very subject came up
on Joe Johns mailing list. When I found the web site
for Zinsser, one of the members shot them a note.

They responded "that day" and were very nice in their
explanations(about waxed vs dewaxed"...)

Perhaps another email(or two) might be in order ???

Seal Coat has NO wax in it to settle out. :)

I noticed that yesterday at HD myself. I was on the verge
of seeking out a manager to request that HD start carrying
it, but then I thought why bother? They can't even keep
everyday items in stock like vinyl gloves and paint roller
tray liners.

I have a coupon for a free can of the Zinsser stuff I got two years ago as a
result of a note I posted here on the WrecK. The man from Zinsser wrote
that it would be available to the public shortly...well, that was two years
ago and the local HD still doesn't carry it and I can't seem to find in any
local home stores.
