Shellac is good, but I'm quite certain epoxy would be
better. After a while shellac gets so brittle that any
vibration would shatter it. Good sealant. Bad
structural strength. Dismantle some Ampico valve
blocks, and you'll see what I mean!
Also, it is edible to cockroaches and camel
crickets, ands absorbs "yuck", which is why I remove
it from old boards, front and back by scrapinmg and/or
blasting with a spray gun filled with lacquer thinner,
NOt alcohol, as too much alcohol will weaken hide glue
joints ) and refinish with a catalyzed varnish.
