This can be shortened by 2.5 days for each 10 degree increase in temperature with lights or a heater. This additive has been mixed to be appropriate for maximum hardening. It is added after the shellac has been put in to the solution. Weigh the shellac before putting it in to the solution. Keep some metho aside from you shellac mix so that you can wash all the additive out. Stir it into the shellac solution. The hardened shellac can be used on table tops so that condensation \u0026amp; heat rings do not occur. Also increases resistance to alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe additive must be in intimate contact with the shellac solution for 72 hours before the hardened shellac can be used.
