It's always seemed to me that once shellac is dry to the touch (maybe
15 - 30 minutes with a 1# cut), it's done its thing, but I see and
hear references to "curing" it before overcoating, hence the question.

You can recoat with shellac in as little as 20 - 30 minutes depending
on the environment in which you are working.

It also matters what is going over it.

I let Seal Coat dry overnight under water base. For other stuff, I
just make sure it's not sticky any more.
