I have never used shellac until now so I am claiming ignorance. I just finished my first walnut turkey call pot and applied a shellac finish. The directions indicated that additional coats should be applied while prior coats were tacky. I reapplied until I achieved a nice glossy finish.
Problem: after several hours the glossy finish seemed dry to the touch but not hard. (It would stick to a wooden surface if I put it down for a few minutes.) I put it on a stationary rack in the clothes dryer and turned it on for a few minutes. Bad idea! It appears that tiny air bubbles came to the surface.
Question: Should I now sand and reapply shellac or strip shellac and start over? Do I have wet shellac trapped under a dry surface? Will it eventually dry?
Forgive me if this is a stupid question. As Forrest's mother said: "stupid is as stupid does." Guilty.
