    Default can you use high grain alcohol to mix with shellac flakes?

    I am worried about raising the grain on Honduras mahogany if I use denatured alcohol to dissolve shellac flakes.

    Default High Grain Alcohol

    Hi Acadnut

    My favourite youtuber, Stumpy Nubs, says in his most recently released vid, that you most certainly can use high grain alcohol (aka moonshine) to dissolve Shellac Flakes.

    I don't know if either liquid mixed with shellac flakes will raise the grain on you Honduras mahogany as I have not worked with it to date.

    Cheers
    Jude

    Default Grain alcohol for shellac

    Yup, I've used Everclear (here in the US) for my shellac and it works great. I don't still use it because it's more expensive than the denatured alcohol I can get at the DIY stores.
