What do you use to level sand your shellac, I know there are a few ways one could go.

When I've needed to spot sand, I've used the foam-backed abrasive sheets available at our Home Depot and Lowes stores. 400 and 600 grit does the trick. When I spray shellac, more block sanding is necessary; when I pad it on, only touch-ups are needed. #0000 steel wool can be used to smooth off a retouched area before applying a final wipe. After that, I polish with a microfiber cloth - - I've never used any sort of power tool for polishing shellac. But then, I don't care much about achieving a mirror finish. I come close enough with hand buffing.
