Billy, I am sorry to be a pest about the sticky/tacky on my machine (page 644), But, is the answer to continue cleaning the areas that are sticky until they are no longer sticky, or STOP cleaning? Thanx, luv2learn

Most people do not realize that shellac was used on the machine cabinets and the machines themselves. It is wise to test the finish to see what it is. I am like you Billy we are family and I am here to help. Glenn
Yeah us car guys are something else you should see my mail box!!

Okay guys... what about Tung oil. Isn't that a shallac of sorts? I'm thinking about using that over the cabinets (I've now got two) once stripped and stained. It penetrates, it seals, you can get it in high gloss and low gloss. Yes? No?
I used Formby's Tung Oil high gloss finish on my cabinets. I like the look. You can also use 100% Tung Oil that Lee Valley sells. I use that on my kitchen wooden counter top, works well.
