The guy at woodcraft suggested using regular old brown paper grocery

job.


It's been discussed here a number of times in the past. AAMOF, nothing
work like a brown paper bag on the final coat of shellac a week after it
cures.


I've never used shellac.
What about it makes the paper so good?
What's it doing to the shellac?
