✅ In this complete and detailed guide, we will teach you the step-by-step process to prepare shellac and apply it correctly on your musical instruments. You will learn about the materials needed, dissolving shellac in ethyl alcohol and the proper proportions to obtain different types of shellac: thick, thin and super thin.
✅ You will discover the importance of using a clean cotton cloth wrist for shellac application, avoiding any residue that could damage the wood of the instrument. In addition, we will explain how to apply shellac evenly, from start to finish, without using other products such as waxes or oils.
✅ We will also address the importance of maintaining shellac on musical instruments over time and how to make additional applications when necessary. We will give you advice on whether it is advisable to apply it on the whole instrument or only on the top, taking into account the opinions of recognized luthiers and the effects on the sound of the instrument.
✅ Remember that, although shellac is a durable and repairable finish, it is important to apply it sparingly, avoiding excessive use that may affect the sound quality of your guitar. If you want to keep your instrument in good condition for many years, don't hesitate to try shellac!
