How do the seals react to soaking in shellac?

Since I usually keep my jars right-side up, I wouldn't know. Why don't
you
do a test and report back?

You don't shake your shellac to stir it, Toddy?

Perhaps your definition of "soak" is different from mine, Jacques-ass.
Webster's seems to define it as "to immerse in liquid for a period of time"
or "to be immersed until thoroughly saturated". To answer your question
anyway, even though it doesn't apply, one source I found says the gasket
material is latex rubber. So, if you really want to know the answer to your
question, look up the solubility of latex in ethanol.
