Thanks Mikey . I m not afraid of shellac however I would probably prefer to spray it . How do you feel about that process ? It’s not just that I’m lazy it’s that hub bub I’m always reading about French Polish throws me off when I read about how many fingers to use , dip in this ,dip it in that , swirl , strait , lift and so on . Just seams as though so many chemicals and steps are screaming for variations to go wrong. I recently redid a bed on a 66 with lacquer and from my perspective it turned out very nice . Granted this ones only about a month old but it all appears still tight and hard as nails . I’d like to try shellac but of course I’d like to spray it . How do you feel about that . Do you think shellac would be as scratch and chemical resistant and as hard as shellac?
