Chuck and Charles,

Thanks for the responses on this.

I ordered a can of Arm R Seal topcoat today. Apparently it is okay to use over dewaxed shellac.

Charles- when I was checking the Woodcraft site when I ordered they had the urethane and oil topcoat finish you speak of and a water based polyurethane that I ordered. The water based one I went with because it has a fast drying time.

“From General, these finishes are the best water based finishes we have ever used. Formulated to resist foaming and prevent sags, they won’t run like ordinary water based finishes. Tack free dry time is only 15 minutes. Dry time between coats is 2-4 hours, so you can finish a project in short order. High Performance Polyurethane, HP, contains all the characteristics of a Poly/Acrylic blend, but also a UV stabilizer to protect it from breaking down in sunlight. This is, without a doubt, the best water based polyurethane on the market today.”

Not sure if this is a new product from them or not, but thought I would give it a try.
