Thanks for asking, Glenn. (Pesky work/career is in the way, and have not had much time for peisure geeking in the past few days!)
Have two coats of shellac on Vinnie; it was quite nice and fun doing it. I don't think I messed up anything! Hoooray! Almost seemed too easy. The second coat has been curing away, and was looking -really- shiny, presumably largely the linseed oil being glossy. Tonight I noticed that the coat is looking cloudy. I am guessing this is because the linseed oil is gumming up as it dries; not sure. I will be able to tend to it with another coat or two tomorrow, and hopefully all will be well. Then I plan to leave it a good week or more, as you suggested, and then naptha and polish it.
Humidity in the room is around 50%, in case this is relevant.
Goodness, I owe you and Steve some photos on another thread... must tend to that tomorrow as well!
