Preferably outdoors, at night, so you can see the
otherwise nearly invisible flames. I had a nice, 2 foot
fireball over the cake pan. Did a splendid job taking the
chill off the evening.

Musical instrument construction uses it for wood - metal
joints. Reputed to be very strong, no water content,
non-hygroscopic, so it won't rust hidden metal surfaces
and later fail. It's also a good way to use up expired shellac,
which I have no shortage of. Fun stuff to make if you
have a pyromaniac streak, end result is a lovely caramel -
colored syrup, looks almost good enough to eat.

Useful to know since Woodcraft stopped selling them. I'd
love to use them for quick and cheap "inlay."

Sorry I am late to this party; I haven't lurked here in a while.
Tage Frid's book describes how to light shellac on fire to to make
shellac burn-in sticks.

According to google you pour orange shellac dissolved in alcohol into a
cake pan, light it, and when the alcohol's mostly burned off you cover
the pan to put it out.

............ Fun stuff to make if you
have a pyromaniac streak, end result is a lovely caramel -
colored syrup, looks almost good enough to eat.
OK, but just how is the cooking done please?

You candle it over an alcohol flame same way you do furniture repair
sticks I assume.
Thanks Father Haskell, I didn't know shellac was used that way... good
info.. Better than the dumb argument over SawStop...
