I finished a project with a 2 lb cut of dewaxed shellac in December of 2012. I had close to 1/2 of a pint unused and put it in a sealed jar. I put it in the back of a shelf and it's been there since. Other than the amber natural color, it's clear and there is no sediment that I can see. Would you think it's OK to use on another small project? I have more shellac flakes, but why waste them if it's not necessary. Thanks for any input and considerations. Don M
