Is there a trick to putting a waterslide decal on a shellac? I did this on a piece of decal on a piece of cut-off from my headstock.
I put down 6 coats of 1 lb cut shellac. I then put 10 coats on top of the decal. As you can see, you see the transparent parts of the decal are clearly visible, and the wood under it is sort of fuzzy. I sanded lightly with 400 grit before putting the decal on...could that be the problem? Or is it just best not to put a decal over shellac?
On the other side of the piece, I sanded to 800, then buffed with a cloth (no wax or cutting compound) until shiny. Will try to put a little piece of decal on that so see if I have better luck....
