I am a lurker on the Sawmill Creek forum (actually I am a member but have not contributed as I am a hobby woodworker with more to learn than contribute). I did see a post by JayStPeter from last April regarding Black Shellac. My question is related.
I have an end table top to refinish that is black and the original finish is shellac (alcohol dissolves the finish). I would like to use shellac to refinish and maintain the black color. I do have a supply of "blond" shellac flakes. Can I add a tint that will result in a black or should I obtain darker shellac and use that for the finish. I intend to apply several coats using spray equipment.
