There's a nice big box of shellac flakes at the local auction.......does it last forever in this state or should I give it a miss?

Depends how it has been stored but it should last a very long time if kept in a cool dark place and an airtight container.
Some people have been able to make polish using old 78 RPM records (which were made from shellac until the 1940's).

Well, I missed it anyway. Bidding got a bit keen and as that lot came up before some tools I wanted I bailed out early. Judging from the price list of our gracious hosts I didn't miss a bargain. I'll wait till I really need it and then buy some fresh stuff from U-BEAUT.
