I have purchased a bottle of Key Black from the American Piano Supply Co for an old piano I am restoring.  I didn't want to use plastic blacks or just spray-on black paint.  I was told it was shelac with lamp black, but clearly it is not.

The key black is very thick and doesn't seem to go on smoothly.  It doesn't seem to thin with common thinners.

Does anyone have any tips on how to apply it and how to finish it?
