Recipe looks great.... thanks!!
I thought I'd check back in this morning.... I'm a morning person and can't stay focused once it's 11pm here in the midwest. Anyway, I want to check and make sure I understand the refinishing process.
You use the naptha to clean off the oil on the machine
Then you use the denatured alcohol to blend and smooth the shellac, right?
Then if you need to add shellac, you dip in shellac and add a couple drops of linseed oil, right?
Am I leaving out a step? I'll have to check and see what I need from the hardware store and start working on the machine my sister-in-law gave me. I probably still have some cleaning to do..... the cabinet is really dirty, too.
I'm still a little confused about what to do if the finish isn't shellac..... don't know how to tell if it's some other finish so I'll be checking in to see if anyone answers my questions and corrects the steps I think I understand.
