Missed you. I have learned so much from the expertise you share here. Keep the old crafts alive. When technology fails, and it will, we will need the wisdom of the ancients to survive.
Shellac is touch dry in two hours , hard in 24 and rick hard in about one week , I wait a week if it's a table or surface area , perhaps this pew about 48 before Id deliver back to a customer
@@theenglishpolisher thank you for the response! That's just what I needed to know. I'm restoring a Duncan Phyfe style dining table and am concerned the shellac finish won't be durable enough for everyday use. I'll give it a couple weeks after the final polish and then rub it out with some dark wax. Hopefully that'll be enough. I'm hoping not to have to use varnish as a final coat as I love the look of hand rubbed shellac.
@@theenglishpolisher I put the last coat of polish on my dining table a couple of hours ago and want to rub it out with wire wool and wax as you did in your second video. There's quite a bit of mineral oil (white oil?) on the surface from the french polishing. Do I need to remove that before rubbing it out or just apply the dark wax and go from there? Also, is 24 hours enough time to wait before rubbing it out with wire wool and wax, or should I wait longer? Thanks in advance for the assistance!

Hi Rob. How long do you need to let the shellac cure before the piece is ready for regular use?

@@theenglishpolisher how long do you let the finish cure before buffing with wire will and oil, and then applying wax?
