I was geeking out on Shellac a while back. From what one woodworking YouTube channel said at least, most of the pre-mixes are quite bad. There are some better ones, but best option is to get some Shellac Flakes or whatever the term was, and some solvent (I think some alcohol like Ethanol / Methanol is the go-to, but i'll look into if something more exotic is good)

Then you can have better ingredients, and also control how diluted it is, from honey like goo, to thin lacquer, to even polishing existing shellac with straight up solvent (Similar to Acetone Smoothing of ABS etc, but not only for surface finish in construction, but also self healing/repair later)

The Main Unknown i Have Would Be Paint Adhesion and/or Long Term Viability in a non-HVAC Controlled Environment etc

I'll see if i made pages on this, if not i can just post the YouTube Playlist i made
