Very interesting. Now I know that if anyone is shooting at me with an AK47 the stock is protected by shellac Woot! [:-))]Woot! [:-))]!!!

Seriously, it is a fascinating material and I use both button polish and Liberon's friction polish, both shellac based. The friction polish seems the better to me, giving a better finish..

When I was a kid and making all sorts of stuff from any old gash bit of wood I could access (from the woodwork room at school!), I loved Button Polish!

Wonderful finish on most woods and the grain grinned through.

A young chum is a qualified (studied at college for years and part of his finals was to make from scratch a Regency dining chair!) is a total whiz at polishing.

It's an absolute joy to see his finished restorations. I've mentioned him before: the chap who sets light to water marks!
