Not "fine woodworking" by any means but am making a riser for a washer/dryer combo and question the finish to use. The riser is 3/4" plywood atop dimension lumber sides. The washer weights over 200# empty and sits on two fixed steel feet and two adjustable nylon feet. Very high pressure for a small area. The dryer sits on rubber feet and weighs mush less.
I want to finish it in white if possible. Am afraid of latex as the rubber feet will surely stick and lift it and the washer may become permanently attached. Thinking of white shellac with a poly varnish over the top. If I would do this should I use oil based or water based poly? Is this even a good idea?
Suggestions appreciated, trying to get this done by Christmas and running out of time (so what's new there?).
