    Default How to spray shellac

    I have a bottle of Ubeaut white shellac that I would like to try spraying with a small touchup gun on some small pieces.

    Can anybody please advise how I should thin it, what ratio, and how to clean up the gun afterwards?

    Also, do you need to sand between coats, and what is the drying time?

    I appreciate all suggestions and ideas,
    regards,

    Dengy

    Thin it with industrial metho. As to ratio....depening on the tempature...humidity....yes

    It's not as easy at it sounds/looks (with our changing weather)....but yes it is achievable. Try on test pieces before you start.

    Between coats 0000 steel wool.
