Armando I dont understand your worries. After 4 weeks, shellack should be pretty hard. Well, at least hard enough. And do as Stephen says when changing strings etc. I have a "swing around" guitar which I finished 6 years ago. Its been everywhere, in the caravan, car, partys etc and it looks beaten, but the French polish is not the reason. it has one or two dings like you describe them and thats it. Another problem might be that you are way to much into perfection. That the guitar must look like its totally untouched. Remember that its a handmade instruments, and one of the things that distinguish handmade and French Polished guitars from Plastic covered factory guitars is that you can see that hands have been on them. I always try to do my job the best I can, but if there´s a little imperfection somewhere, I dont get nervous.
