hi charles, i love …
hi charles, i love your vids, they’re very insightful and i appreciate you sharing what you’ve learned over the years.
when do you use the shellac cut with the wax? or is that for the last coating? also, do you use a thicker cut for the finishing coats?
i’m interested in french polishing and this in kind of what i’m getting at as i understand they’re’s meant to be a fair few coats done and 24 hour intervals.
thanks for your time!

point of …
point of clarification- when you put the 1/2 pound of dry shellac in the empty quart jar and then fill it with alcohol to the quart mark, the shellac accounts for a certain volume in the jar so it really is not possible to add a full quart of alcohol to make the ratio for a 2 lb cut. Hence the cut you end up with in that scenario is heavier than a 2 lb cut.
If you want a ratio for 2lb cut that will produce a quart of material, use 6 weight oz of shellac to 24oz of alcohol.
