Orange shellac need help

[Colin Kenny]

Here are a couple of good sights.  One that sells shellac and has a lot of
information.  The other is a write up on french polishing.  I used this
second page to help develop my french polish technique.  It's geared towards
guitars, but most of the information would apply.
