The Shellac Collective, playing their old 78rpm records in support of the Bad Shepherds at the Robin 2 - Sunday 15 June 2014
The Liberon lemon shellac flakes I had were pretty waxy - this works well.
Sort of self evident - but keep pouring the fresh onto the old wax - which acts as its own filter ( first bit through needed to go through again )
Just one layer of kitchen roll - nothing fancy !
Just for Melissa ;-)
...and she'll understand the joke. Here's a photo of an almost whole mica sheet.
The mica sheet above has a shellac binder. The binder binds the mica (the rock) pieces together. The mica is a white color. The shellac gives it that amber shade.
Bought a big pile of old 78's from the boot sale today. Lots of Harry Bidgood and a couple of novelty songs that I will slowly add to the audio blog.

I applied a shellac finish to this clock in the Spring of 2006. On July 9, 2009 I sanded the finish with no. 400 wet/dry sandpaper plus mineral oil mounted on a rubber sanding block, then buffed with no. 0000 extra-fine steel wool, followed by Turtlewax white automotive polishing compound, then finally applied Johnson's paste wax. Notice that the finish is much smoother and even than photos taken of the same clock in 2006.
