Need help on veneer polishing.

[photoprashanth]

Hi Friends,
I want to veneer my diy speakers and polish them without any staining. I went through some video tutorials but mostly people use shellac flakes and alcohol to do the polishing.

But in the market, I see some "Sheenlac" furniture polish. I did not get any how to guide on using this Sheenlac polish.

Please point me to any guide or share your experience.

Regards,
Prashanth

Pick a suitable veneer, sand it down over and over again till it's grains are raised, spray polyurethane!

The spray finish will be good an durable. It is available in matte, if you do not want that high, deep gloss efect (I had my kitchen done with the "natural" look).

Staining is just for colour. a drop of water on a veneer sample will show you the effect of a clear varnish on the wood.

Hand polishing requires practice, skill and hard work. The results are also less durable.
