I used to bring 190 proof Everclear to my friends in CA when I visited
No one could ever tell me why either.

I described in my post on page two how I use shellac and have no experience with flakes but completely agree with the ease and beauty from many coats of shellac. This Padauk case was done with Bullseye Amber from the can. 12 coats.
First 3 one after another an hour apart then #3 lightly sanded with 220 Garnet on a block. 4,5,and 6 each sanded. 7-11, with 2 or more hours in between, even more lightly rubbed with 0000 wool hand held folded flat. 12, believe it or not, a tip I found in FWW, just DNA on a cheesecloth pad run over the surface as close as I could get without touching it.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
Oh, you guys are talking about getting Shellacked.
Here’s my recipe:
In a Dairy’s milk shipping container, a block of ice chipped to get through the neck.
Add 4 bottles Everclear, 16 #10 cans of Hawaian Punch and let stand until it’s party time.
You’ll have a great Finish!
Hopefully, you've been successful by now, as I'm a little late to this party. You mentioned using a Taklon brush. A natural bristle brush should do a better job and is what is recommended on the TFWW site. Good brushes can be pricey are well worth it to me. I just dedicate one to shellac.
