Shellac ahs been used for hundreds of years as a finish, nowadays we use 100% methylated spirit to desolve the shellac. I was just wondering what was used all those years ago?

Booze
i thought about that, but then wondered how they got such a lovely finish
Ethanol or pure alcohol (at least as pure as they could get it then) and it was pure, no denaturant put in it so it couldn't be drinked. :D
