You can French polish with anything that will re-dissolve in its thinner;
IOW, shellac or lacquer. Shellac is usual, lacquer works too. Other than
the grade/color of shellac, it matters not who sells it...shellac is
shellac. Ditto lacquer.

Actually, I posted that. And my point got lost by the time you replied.
The Zinsser product gave the appearance of French polishing without the
work. Obviously, Liberon's "Easy" French polish makes the same claim. I
wanted to know from someone who'd used the Liberon product if that claim
was valid.

shellac is shellac, but there is waxed, and dewaxed.

To french polish dewaxed is the norm.. I've never used waxed, so I don't
know if it works, but I was always told dewaxed, and that's what I've used.

I only use waxed for jigs and stuff... where it's premade and lasts
forever compared to the flakes I mix up.
