Tom:
Burnt shellac is made by mixing orange shellac flakes with just
enough alcohol so that you have a thick gooey paste. You can get shellac
flakes from Player Piano Supply. It is called burnt shellac because
originally it was made by taking premixed shellac and "burning" off the
alcohol by heating over a burner or hot plate.
