Hi All, I have some small boxes that I finished with shellac. I wiped on a lot of 2 lb. coats and got a pretty good surface. But the rubbing out seems so labor intensive. I'm starting with 400g sterated paper then 0000 steel wool. After this I wax and shine. I don't like waxing with steel wool as I can't judge the progress. The slow part is the 400g paper; it seems to take forever to get rid of all the shiny spots. Is there a quicker method to a satin shellac finish? I'm starting with a good shellac surface to begin with. Thanks for any ideas.
