Dear Glenn and all,
I did a first-coat of shellac today. It went fine! I think my shellac is perhaps more liquidy now than it should be; slightly runnier than SM oil. Glenn, is it better to err on the side of too thick or too thin? I am guessing too thin.
Because of the linseed oil, it looks falsely beautiful right now ;-) A few questions:
-How many coats of shellac is advisable?
-Do you find that almost every new finger-dip-of-shellac requires a new spot of fabric on the tee-shirt fabric?
-Super-light pressure, you really mean super light, don't you! I found that I was barely exerting pressing force at all.
-I finished the coat about an hour ago. It feel, of course, oily now from the linseed oil. I am not meant to naptha it between every coat, am I?
Thanks in advance.
