Sure, you can put just about anything on top of shellac. Hope that answers your question! Rome A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.

I applied a shellac with wax to my K31 stock and it was a good dull finish.

It's probably a residual material deposited by the bugs. IF you let the shellac sit on the shelf for, say, 6 months you'll see it settle out on the bottom. Most premier shellac is dewaxed/filtered somehow, however. It does tend to kill the shine. Rome A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
