I've seen this plenty of times Dan. I like it myself except that it has a tendancy to discolour the felt. As with anything if you use to much then you have used to much. Easy to thin shellac out, easy to use thinner to drive the shellac deeper into the felt. Works great, lasts a long time, breaks down with time probably more then most lacquers will.
