 |
|
I am converting an old organ into a bar, and am looking for the best
way to completely seal the keys. There are small gaps between keys
and I am wondering how this will affect things. Will the shellac fill
these gaps and remain smooth on top? anything I should be careful of? |

Many of us would like to convert our old organs...

If it stays a bar for more than 4 hours, call a doctor.

you're biting off a hornets nest, if I may mix my metaphors.
I'd have a nice thick, like 1/2", piece of tempered glass made that
covers everything and make sure the edges are sealed. |

It would take 200 coats of shellac to fill them and shellac is not alcohol
proof so it is a poor selection for a bar.
I'd use an epoxy or polyester resin to fill the gaps. Once filled, I'd coat
the whole thing with the resin or maybe polyurethane. |
