I ignored the "bulge" of a shellac can this morning, man was that a mistake – As I started to wedge off the lid, I heard a big "pop" and then it flew across the yard. Luckily it flew away from me instead of in my face!

Same as this, pretty much:

So watch out for that old shellac... Or maybe switch to flakes?


Cheers

Speaking of shellac flakes, can you use a dried out can and rehydrate that with alcohol? Seems like with enough time it would work.
