Shellac problems

[jobob]

I checked with my DH, Leebob, and that's basically what he says too - throw on some more shellac and make sure it dries thoroughly, in a reasonably dry environment.

He's seen that mottling happen when he shellacs his bar tape in damp weather, but slapping on another coat in drier conditions takes care of it.

As for the clear shellac that Lisa suggests, I suppose that's assuming that you're happy with the current color and would rather not make it deeper, I would guess clear shellac wouldn't change the current color much. You could always use the amber shellac again and make it a much richer color.

You're my heroes (heroines?)!

You saved Remy the Mixte from being humiliated at the bike rack. Muchas gracias.

Yes, that's exactly why I suggested the clear shellac topcoat, i assumed you didn't want the color any darker.

Wow, that photo is great to show the before/after happy ending!

And it's quite a difference!

It was a relief to get such quick responses to ease the horror of what I'd done to the tape.

My roommates saw the mottling and later did a double-take once I'd fixed it.

Brilliant.
