I would like to get some suggestions on how to refinish a grand soundboard with shellac. Do you apply it with brush? French polish? I would be grateful for any advice! Thanks, Daniel Lindholm / Sweden </BLOCKQUOTE> Daniel Regardless of how or what you do, be sure the sound board is completely free from old shellac, and free from dirt, etc., before applying the shellac, I have had good success with spray shellac. But If you are a purist, apply it with a brush. My refinisher has redone the board with lacquer with good results. Wim </HTML>
