Hi all
I was making up some shellac from flakes today. I used half a bag of the Ubeaut shellac mixed with 500ml industrial metho, as directed in the instructions. Even when I cut it to a 1/2 strength batch, it has gone really muddy, not the transparent amber colour I am used to. When applied it seems OK, but in the container it seems very odd.
Is this normal? I would traditionally make a 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 strength mixes. I confess that I tend to use the white or hard shellac from the bottle, but I thought I'd try it with flakes this time. Perhaps I need to filter it or let the sediment settle.
