Seriously, do you think shellac can withstand boiling water for any

It won't clean off in a dishwasher. There's a big gap between
"doesn't stand up to it as a finish" and "Can be cleaned off
effectively by it".


And how is a dishwasher related to boiling water? Do you know of any
dishwashers that use boiling water? The dishwasher with heat
augmentation get to a water temp of about 140 degrees; but many just
use the water as it comes through the pipe. I mentioned boiling
because boiling water is typically used in hot water canning, and then
of course there is even hotter than 212 with pressure canning. World
of difference between a bit of 140 degree water sluicing over the
dishes and fully standing fully in boiling water.

Guess its time to go coat some glasses since I have a little 2 pound
cut left over after a project I finished yesterday and see if it stays
on the glass in my dishwasher. If it does, no problem, I'll just put
the glasses in a pan of BOILING water.
