I am doing about 30 Redheart Jar lids for Mother's day presents' (see pic for prototype with shellac and a satin clear coat spray). I found out that Redheart fades easily with sunlight. So, I decided to get a UV protection Spar Marine Varnish. Now... my question/query/conundrum.... I almost always use a Shellac first on projects (other than pens) as to seal the wood up. Shellac works with oil and water based finishes. But I'm wondering if I should use it with this Marine UV protection Varnish. Does anyone have any ideas? ( the jars will be filled with Lindt chocolates with a white ribbon )
