Sorry if the shows up twice.... I waited a day

With just shellac I have found the finish to gum up and become uneven. That
is, if you try to work the finish for more than 20 seconds. Try 2 parts
shellac to 1 part mineral oil..... It's basically motorized french polish.
The oil gravitates to the top and lubricates. The shellac migrates to the
bottom. You can keep working it while the shellac sets up. Just wipe off the
oil after the shellac has hardened up.

It will give you a very quick (minutes) very glossy finish (if that's what
you want)

I normally spray a finish but on repair work I need something that will
dry much quicker. I was wondering what most used for a glossy finish on
pens and such things while spinning on a lathe. I've read some on wax's
and such and would like to know just what in your opinions work the best.
