    I am refinishing an old school house desk I found at the local dump.   My finish wil be shellac.   Before I mix it, I always have to check my conversion table.   I thought I would share it with others.   I have found it invaluable.




    Cut / Usage guidelines...

  • For pre-conditioning wood to control blotching
          use a 1/2# cut or a 1# cut.
          Sand lightly if you use the 1# cut.

  • For a sanding sealer/primer use a 1# cut.

  • For sealing a stain prior to overcoating
          use a 1# or 1/2# cut.

  • General brushing use a 2# cut.

    Now the question.

    You have a quart of 2# cut and you need to make a 1# cut.   How much alcohol do you add?
