So I was going through the finishing products on LMI and ran across this: http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdpr...=Finishes&NameProdHeader=U-Beaut+Hard+Shellac
I am going back and forth between wanting to use an aerosol lacquer or rubbed on shellac for my finish when I get to that stage of finishing my uke. I eventually want to try both methods on future builds, but this is my first build so I'm not biased towards any finishing method as of yet...
The only reason why I am not considering shellac as of now, is because of everything I have read about it not being as durable or long lasting as lacquer finishes. However, due to not having a very suitable area to spray(I would just be spraying outside, I am a bit nervous about dust, dirt, etc. getting into the finish) a rubbed on shellac that I could do in my building room sounds much better.
So, if I go the shellac route, is this stuff any good? Or should I just stick with the traditional shellac materials?
