I have not completed the shellac process yet but the denatured alcohol and linseed oil made that machine look like new! It just took a little time to get it done and one of my husband's tee shirts. I should have taken before pictures because those of us that have not done it before would believe the difference, it is rewarding once you get it going. I fully expected it to be gray again the next day but to my surprise it still looked great! So go for it and good luck!

You are so right - it isn't all that hard, doesn't take all that much time and looks great when you get done!!!
