A:  Happy to help. Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac is recommended for application to interior wood surfaces, it would not be a good choice for your walking stick. Watco Exterior Wood Finish would be an excellent choice for your walking stick. It is a unique penetrating oil that hardens in the wood, not on the wood. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Watco-1-gal-Clear-Oil-Exterior-Wood-Finish-2-Pack-67732/204803633 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

A:  Hi Jon, thank you for reaching out! Our Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac may be applied to wood flooring; however, natural shellac resin is not as durable as polyurethane, and requires special upkeep. Instead, you may consider applying our Varathane Floor Finish Oil-Based Polyurethane, which has a similar natural amber hue. The existing coating needs to be fully cured, then lightly sanded with 220 grit sandpaper followed by cleaning to ensure proper adhesion. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-gal-Clear-Satin-Oil-Based-Floor-Finish-Polyurethane-2-Pack-130231/202058854 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2

A:  Great question! Rust-Oleum Bulls-Eye Shellac can be used to seal pressboard. For best results, apply several light coats with a brush, pad or lint-free wiping cloth and let dry for 1 hour before sanding with 220 grit or finer sandpaper. Allow any subsequent coats to dry at least 1 hour before sanding lightly and recoating. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 13

A:  Happy to help, Michael! We recommend lightly sanding bare wood with 80 to 100 grit sandpaper to remove weathered wood fibers to ensure the best finish prior to applying Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac Finish. If trying to color match an existing application, we recommend applying in a test area first to ensure favorable results. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
