If there is wax in the shellac you cannot use it as an undercoat for
anything else. I would suppose the wax is when you use only the
shellac.



That's true. It's also supposed to be more durable, and more waterproof
when used in it's 'waxed' state. For floors, for example, before the
arrival of more modern coatings.

Just the opposite. Shellac containing wax is what causes the finish to
get water rings. Wax is also soft and accelerates finish wear.
