I'm getting ready to trim out a friend's bathroom. After about a week of trial and error, I finally discovered the recipe to get the trim to match his door. It's red oak stain, then two coats of amber shellac.
How will shellac hold up in a bathroom?
FWIW, it's pine trim.

I wouldn't do it without some poly over the top of it.

I concur - it'll go milky with the humidity in there unless it's topcoated with something more impervious to moisture.

Thank ya, gentlemen.
I'm glad I asked.
I think I have polly or spar varnish out there.

I mean...I guess if it's a 1/2 bath (not shower or bathtub...) you could get away with it; there might not be much moisture in that case. But either way I would at least get a coat or two of wipeon poly of the shellac. Better safe than sorry.
