I Mix Shellac from flakes (Hock or Behlens) with Behlens Bekhol for best results. You can thin the cut and spray with a preval sprayer to get more buildup as padding or wipe on cuts into the previous coat and makes it difficult to get an even coat. You can get flakes in different shades and I vary the amount of "super blonde" and "garnet" flakes to get the amber color I want.

I spray Behlens stringed instrument (nitro) lacquer over the shellac.
