Panel cradled(BNE Wes aka lugnut aka can you do this for me buddy neighbor), shellaced and sanded, 3 sanded gesso coats and we are a GO for the 48x46 wood panel for the TREE project thanks for the very helpful silent movie-esk instructions. So very helpful Greg. Keep Creating brother
According to an interview on Simkins website, Craola uses mostly Trekell, Nova Color and Golden acrylics. Using this video as a guide, my son now prepares his boards the same way. I guess because the shellac is under three coats of gesso, its all good.
+jon donahoe I'm no expert, but I would think it's because shellac can be removed for cleaning where as poly I'm not sure can be, and if so it might be very difficult and thereby damage the painting. It could also have some adverse chemical reaction to the acrylics.
very cool thanks trekell team

Skip the part about apron, gloves and protecting your clothes.
Great video. Say, what grit is the paper on the orbital sander?
I don't know. We should ask. Hey @Greg "Craola" Simkins ???
Why shellac in the first place? To keep the wood from the paint??
Hey Greg, what grit is the paper on the orbital sander?
The shellac accepts acrylic gesso? Hmm but he curious. Is this process archival..?
Thanks for the amazing video. I know shellac works with oil colors. Does this work with Acrylic paint as well?

Is there a reason why shellac is used instead of a poly application?

Poly is an oil product. You can't apply acrylic gesso over it without possible adhesion problems.
