Title: Finishing question
Post by: Paw Paw Ray on September 16, 2013, 11:42:12 am

What finish can you put on wooden coasters that will not leave a white ring after putting a cup of coffee or glass of water on the coaster?  I know shellac will not work.

Polyurethane or epoxy

I second what Bill said.
However you can use shellac or BLO to seal and/or pop the grain to start with as long as you finish up with two or three coats of poly or epoxy as a protective coat.
