I so want this last layer of shellac to go on well and unfortunately as I worked on the side of the desk I boogered it up. There's nothing to do but let it continue to dry right now and pray I can smooth it without marring it badly. I have found with each successive layer the color deepens and if I have to remove a errant drip by sanding it's hard to get an even color.
