I know zinnser modified thiers, it's not such an issue anymore.
Fresh shellac is organic with out the plasticizers, and degrades by being rehydrated and some properties like drying totally are altered.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

I think I read that shellac is slightly acidic and eventually reacts with the metal in the can (that's why when you mix it using flakes you are supposed to put it in a glass jar).
It's bug juice - so what did you expect? ;o)

The problem with flakes is that they slowly absorb moisture.
The same with the old premixed stuff the alcohol that it's mixed with loves to absorb moisture.
The new formula used by Zinssers isn't as prone to moisture absorabancy and I haven't had a bad can in a extremely long time..
The denatured alcohol can still absorb moisture so make sure that's fresh.
I eliminate that risk with my over thinned approach and as a result in the last decade have never had any shellac go bad on me..
Thanks to all that replied!Mystery solved, now on to thinking about how to solve the cold fusion problem.-Paul
I've solved the cold fusion problem. Uses ice water for fuel. I just have to make it work without the battery bank and 3 phase generator so it doesn't cost so much to operate. Other than that, its TOTALLY AWESOME!
Ice water! All this time I've been thinking dry ice.Well at least the dry ice worked with quantum side shift.
You must have the cold hydrogen atoms from the ice water to fuse, dry ice is simply carbon based and will not fuse at all. All you get is cold, no fusion. It's very simple. The quantum side shift is very difficult to keep stable with ice water however. This means a microwave servo is necessary to maintain the Planck constant within a narrow band.
I'm off to buy a new can of shellac...
Just electrolyze the water (adding sodium hydroxide first, of course) over and over again to concentrate the heavy water (more duterium in electrolyzed water). The make a sonoluminescent cell and there you go. Simple, really.
Huh, why didn't I think of that? You're good, really good.
I made sonoluminescents in the tub earlier today.My wife told me to knock it off though. I don't get to make hot fusion if she hears me like that.Rebuilding my home in Cypress, CAAlso a CRX fanatic!
I don't feel it's healthy to keep your faults bottled up inside me.
Maybe I'm hard up for a laugh, but that struck me as pretty darn good!
