Default Shellac Question

Hi Group, I have a gallon can of Bullseye Shellac that's been setting a
while. It has gelled but not solidified. Can I rejuvenate it by adding
alcohol? Thanks, Jim

While you can, I would not.
It's past its lifetime. Once it starts to go hard, it really is not good
as a finish. It may never dry.

Correct. The ingredients and/or properties that let it dry only work
once, although I have gotten away with dewaxed that has only been dry (on
a surface) for a few hours.
