I've read 33 pages of this thread. I did find a place where the French polish is defined: Post #110.
I certainly have learned a lot by reading the posts but I've also read some posts that contain additional steps or contradicting information and it's starting to confuse me.
I have read both that there is a waiting period after using the Naptha, but I have also read a Post somewhere that one doesn't have to wait after using the Naptha.
I thought I understood the order of steps from the Glenn's first posts but then I read in later posts that there is a step involving denatured alcohol and shellac. I don't understand what situations should an alcohol/shellac step be used.
As I understand there is a step using denatured alcohol with a drop or two of linseed oil to soften the original shellac, then painting touch ups, then the French polishing with shellac and a drop or two of linseed oil. Not sure where/why the alcohol/shellac step comes into play.
Can someone describe when there should be a waiting period?
Any clarification would be appreciated.
