Key Black

[Keith Roberts]

APSCo has been out of business for some months now. It could have sat on the
shelf for a long time too. The sharp black I have is lacquer, from Schaff.
Shellac thins with alcohol?

> 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.
