I am looking for help/tips/support/ or ideally a recipe for mixing Shellack.
Last year we made a 3 pound cut from waxed Shellack and 98% ethanol.
It looked like what we where used to (Zinsser) it applied the same but the problem was ,it washes off far to quickly.
So something in our recipe is missing or wrong........
Our Shellack supplier suggested the use of Gummi benzoë, but then how and what quantity?
I tried to find information on google and on forum but found zero.
Over here in Europe we have a growing community of wood and canvas paddlers and the all need Shellack,importing from the states is getting more and more complicated.
So we are trying the solution of mixing it our selves.
I hope you can help us.
Kind regards
