I was asking what the temperature was when you applied these substances. Mountain dew, yahoo,( remember the old commercials) has a high sugar content and with heat at 108 degrees with high humidity and then on a flat surface in front of a Southern facing window, what might the out come be? This would not be an unreasonable circumstance in the South for my client to call me and say that they have a problem or say that some mayonnaise was left on the surface in the same circumstances or a pumpkin left for three weeks on a top of a chest after Halloween or there maid ironed the table cloth on the table top. We didn't cover that one but they wanted us to. Also lacquer is easily removed which can not be said about poly vanish for future consideration unlike shellac which can be removed by just alcohol. I have to deal with some of the most unimaginable circumstances.
I should have added I like orange shellac for an aged look. Finishing has so many variables that they all can not be covered in weeks of postings. I guess my comments about the finish, being easy, was not taken in the humours manner in was meant.
But if your "improved" shellac will withstand these and other unforseen problems please sign me up. I am always trying to improve my workmanship and I can always learn more.
