U Beaut Hard Shellac

Hi.

I have stained a guitar body and neck with u beaut dye stains and applied a couple of coats of U Beaut de waxed white shellac.

This is my first real 'outing' and as far as I can tell things are going OK (since the timbermate filler takes stain) :rolleyes:

I was trying to decide whether to finish up with spray can clear nitro cellulose or U Beaut hard shellac.

Is there any reason why I couldn't use both?

Would I have to wait till the hard shellac cures before lightly sanding and continuing with the spray can Nitrocellulose?

TIA

shelac is so asy to apply by hand, why bother spraying, i just make a little rubber and it comes up shiny in no time, if that nitrosoxide, ahhh i mean nitro cellulose can b used with shelac than a topcoat of that would make it really tough...maybe the hard shelac is enough, only do what is necessary ...

what's a spray can of nitro worth ?

If I could remember all I've forgotton I wouldn't need to learn so much more, as it is I forget what I learnt, what I forgot and what I need to learn to forget.
