Looks like it was stripped of stain and that maybe the original shellac was tinted. On furnitur, I only had to buff the shellac by hand with a high grit scotch pad or 0000 steel wool. Never have I needed a power buffer. A coat on the polished shellac will give a glassy surface. Why not completely strip the top?

Have you ever stripped and refinishes a whole top? Its a lot of work. Besides, it ruins the guitars battle scars completely. The point is to protect the wood.

@@DrewsGuitarShop I have not done a guitar before. Guess I missed the fact that you wanted to keep the battle scars on it.

Ok, so there is raised wood! Fascinating! The process of repairing varnish on a painting is generally complete removal with a solvent, then a new layer. But then, UV damage and air grime is much different than skin oils and pick damage. I assume your varnish is self-leveling, so i imagine it doesn’t matter too much if you have brush marks.

The shellac tends to soak into the wood and thus doesn't leave a whole lot that could be unleveled. That said, if you get a little edge of it on the finish around where you are touching it up, naphtha and guitar polish will generally even it out. Its one of the reasons I love this method, its just pretty idiot proof in terms of mistakes you could make and looks great.

What Shellac brand u used? Furniture shellac?

@DrewsGuitarShop 6 месяцев назад

Shellac is shellac. It's bug stuff in alcohol.

You blocked the view of the brush work with your hand. It's a visual medium. You should have considered that people wanted to see what you were doing.
