Try padding it.

Does anyone have a link to the video O'Deen posted in this thread?

It appears that klownhammer.org has gone dark. <SAD>

It was a superb little clip showing exactly how to apply shellac.

I cut it to 1/2 lb.

Easy to brush, quick to dry.

Minimum sanding req'd.

I spray BIN right from the can. Depending on the project, I use my
cheapie HF HVLP turbine or a critter.

Try a practice panel, as there's not much to tell. I just spray
relatively wet coats and remove dust nibs with a cork block and 400
grit.
