Haha... cool. I've been using a few layers of old white Tshirt over small felt blocks cut with a wedge end like that. Basically just take a felt sanding block and cut it into 4 pieces and then true and wedge them on a clean sanding belt to get the small felt blocks. felt holds a little shellac, but it gets hard if you don't keep it in a jar with alcohol on it, so erasers might be best. I got the idea from a friend who used to use a cork center for his muneca when pumicing.

What do you have over the bridge position, is it tape and how come it does not peel off with all he water ?
-
Can you use white or button polish on guitars??

what would we do without our luthiers!!

Using water to cut back is fine but it will be more abrasive than using oil. French polish is the easiest if not only finish that can be repaired without needing to strip back to bare wood.

I think thats a good idea.... I was thinking of a thin felt pad between the eraser and layers of cotton. Really don't use the traditional fad much any more....

Great video. I've heard that if you're using waxed shellac flakes that you dont need to use oil on the final coats. is this true? Are the flakes you are using waxed or de-waxed?

@gilligog I like using seedlac....... some people filter out the wax, but I don't. I feel like it does help with the final polishing, but I still use oil.

You should never NEVER use water with schellac. It can form a white cloud under your finish. You use all tipes of pure oli (such as 100% olive oil) as lubrificant when sanding

@devivo77 That's not true, if you wipe off the water in the usual amount of time after wet sanding there is no cloudiness if you leave water on the finished surface it might make a problem, but that's not what we are doing.
