ignoring the several different concoctions for the ingredients---- all the iterations call for "clear" shellac so clear shellac supposedly has the wax removed so: what gives us the "shine"? Friction alone shouldn't raise a shine--it might burnish the wood a bit--but? wouldn't it make more sense to use original shellac (shellac with wax) What makes original shellac incompatible with the other ingredients? Would it matter if amber shellac or dark shellac was used? I would presume that it would give some color to the mix. Still "thinking" through this. Thks smitty

A good article on shellac. The author is a long time instructor at a finishing school. I smiled at his comment, do you really need poly on a jewelry box or clock? What he does not mention is that Bullseye (except for the aerosol version) is a waxed shellac; Seal Coat is dewaxed. This is important if you plan to put another finish like varnish or water-borne on top -- you want a dewaxed version. https://www.popularwoodworking.com/finishing/brushing-shellac-2/?utm_campaign=PWW - NL - Sunday Newsletter&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=203011645&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8LBuwuA9TOYf3kNNTlzTPXPNFTJmfwXUX_eEwDO3ix4qRa0pqSJ8LQZVJmApD4gcLcGnPTKgLqTvrPYfTazFWMvF-pGS9QMYDfV1k8_RwPePqkjHM&utm_content=203009238&utm_source=hs_email#
