How do you prepare your shellac?

Slowly. It's not a quick process.

I blast mine through a coffee grinder, then add repeated small
quantities of powdered shellac to the alcohol over a period of several
days. I never have a "glob", because it's easier to avoid it forming
than it is to get rid of it afterwards.

All shellac should dissolve, so there's no point in filtering it.
Anything solid is something that ought to have been dissolved, not
something solid that needs to be removed.
