I've bungled my first attempt at using shellac for a finish. Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac ... clear. Dry-to-touch in 30 minutes ... recoat in 1 hour. I stirred well > blew-off the surfaces > using my HVLP > I applied the first coat. Waited 2 1/2 hours > lightly wiped surfaces with 320. Surfaces were silky smooth. I stirred again > blew-off the surfaces > applied the 2nd coat. It looked-like-a-mirror. Waited one hour > surfaces looked-and-felt 'rough'. Let-it 'sit' over-night ... 24 hours later ... no difference ... it was still 'tacky' in some spots. My guesses are that the shellac 'set-up' somewhat in-between-coats, then was applied too thickly. However; my main dilemma / question is ... how do I recover? Shellac.jpg
