applying the shellac?
vacuum or is this the only word in the English language with double “u”s?). I’m not sure about the cleaning but pretty confident on the Zinsser. >Bill, you might consider putting together a tweed aging kit, or a shellacking kit of some sort. I have seen the spray shellac but not tried it yet. >Here’s the “formula” as discussed on the old TDP, and field tested by Bill Hullett: Orange (amber) shellac cut 50/50 (or so) with denatured alcohol solvent, applied with a bristle brush. Multiple coats to achieve the color, and even out splotchiness. Satin lacquer topcoat if desired for protection from alcohol and moisture, and/or to reduce sheen. Brushing splotches could be reduced by spraying, but look fine and authentic. Practice on scrap first… Good china bristle brushes used to be very expensive, now you can find them cheap at the stores that carry Chinese made tools. Contributed by Alan P.
