The quick drying time really saved me from the deadline. Yes the finish is indeed top notch, easy to build up, easy to retouch mistakes as well.

Re: Shellac...
Ha. ha. ha ..:p.. Kinunan pala ako but you should see the actual finish its very smooth and mirror like finish will really motivate you to use shellac, had a great time that day broder sarap mag shellac. And also all my planes are tuned na sarap gamitin tissue paper ang shavings.
Re: Shellac...
Does shellac keep? If you dissolve too much, can you keep it in a tupperware and keep indefinitely?
As you apply it, will the alcohol evaporate? If it does, can you add more?
I recall, as a kid, my father taught me how to "muniego" my wooden toolbox which involved applying a varnish-like liquid using a ball of old cotton TShirt (I thought it was varnish at that time). Is muniego (don't know proper spelling) what shellacing is called?
