Can you explain French Polishing or the 'shellac polishing' technique, please?

Last night I dabbed the Aniline Dye stain powder mixed with denatured alcohol and shellac on my Singer 66 RedEye. Now, I'm wondering what to do next? I accidentally overlooked the dye powder to denatured alcohol ratio instructions in the original post and just mixed enough alcohol into the paint to make a liquid and then added shellac. From what I read in the original post the next step should be french polishing but I'm not sure what that is. It has probably been explained but I'm not finding a good way to do a Search on QuiltingBoard. Thank you in advance, Sue
