<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Liberon-star from Ft. Bragg, Ca. has =
lots of
shellac products. Terry Miller from Napa turned me on to the =
shellac
stuff. Retarder is a slow drying alcohol that can be added to =
increase
drying time. I used it to brush on a coat but was frusterated with =
it so I
sprayed a coat of lacquer sealer over it. I'm swearing off brushes =
for
good. Works to apply paint remover though.</FONT></DIV>
