Mr. Hebbard, TLDR can never apply to you. Never a wasted word. Never a grim read. Thank you for ALL of your exquisitely written details.
Please note: I'm never Mister and most definitely NEVER Sir just Ron to everyone from my great granddaughter on up. Thank you so much at a time when I was concerned senility had set in and I'd become the laughing stock of this site and others.
Toodleoo!
Ron Hebbard.

For your info, we nixed the shiny floor but still had to have mirror-shine walls.

ended up using Rosebrand's black metallic vinyl rolls like wallpaper. Great look for little money. Lesson learned to share: don't use spray adhesive on luan. With our southern humidity swings, the vinyl started bubbling and wrinkling over the course of our month run. I would go with a heavier-duty roll-on adhesive and apply over a tempered masonite to keep moisture from wicking through the wall surface.

Sealing Luan is ALWAYS a good Idea. A cheap and easy way is to use 4# < that's a pound sign not a hashtag, young'uns> shellac. It will lock in the oils that are often present in exotic woods.
Thanks for reporting back in! Glad you found a good solution!


P.S. It also works well for sealing Sap Knots or Veins in Pine and fir.
