I spray a very thin clear coat, then color it with very thin spray coats to build the desired color, then spray a few clear coats to seal the color, then french polish over the entire pray coats to a final finish, then compound out the final finish to a shine. These coats are sprayed fairly dry, not too wet. Take into consideration that I use just enough shellac to bind the coat to adhere to the wood and other coats. The major part of the mix is 190 proof Ever-Clear alcohol. This mix makes the shellac very thin, about as thin as one coat of Lacquer for the final finish.
