Hey there Susan

I agree completly about the shellac. Use it all the time. It does have a
tendancy to miscolour hammers a bit... if thats a concern I generally use Cell
laquer... nitro I think you call it over there.  Both are very forgiving, leave
hammers so that they are easily manipulated with needles, and set up very
quickly.

Cheers
