This was my first time using shellac, and I learned a few things in the process.
The can doesn't tell you this, but you should thin this product with high-proof alcohol to get good results (like isopropyl 90% or more). If you do not thin, or apply too many coats of overly thick product, it will increase the time shellac will take to properly harden. Luckily, it is also very forgiving and easy to correct mistakes.
It does leave a very high-quality, ultra high-gloss finish on projects. I went over mine with 000 steel wool to reduce the mirror-like finish.
Note that shellac does not last very long and should be used asap or results will suffer. This was my first time using it, and I like the product very much but will buy flakes next time and mix up my own. It's really as easy as adding alcohol and stirring.
