Regarding the durabillity of shellac on piano plates, etc.: If you'll look at a 19th-century piano plate or finish, you'll be able to judge how durable this finish is. It turns slightly golden in tone over the years, but not brown like varnish. It does not form that "alligator" texture. Water won't harm it so long as you wipe it off. It can be repaired easily with French polishing or additional coats. It adhears to almost any finish and does not peel loose, and it's quite hard and durable. You can spray, brush or rub it on, and it dries quickly. Nice stuff. Philip Jamison West CHester, PA _________________________________________________________________ Need a break?
