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


Really? I guess that I can't just believe everything I read on Usenet. ;-)

So dewaxed shellac is LESS susceptible to water rings?


Very much so. I've seen claims that freshly mixed dewaxed shellac won't even
get water rings without a lengthy exposure, but I haven't tested that
hypothesis yet.

And dewaxed is also the best at slowing the exchange of water vapor.
