Spray can shellac in a pinch

[Jay LePree]

Hi all:

I stopped in my local hardware store today to purchase some items for the house and some shellac for my cotton tape on my Loscos.  The tape was holding up, but dirtied and faded as I had not shellaced it when I taped the bars last year.  The staff were busy with other customers, and  the cans of shellac were way up on the top shelf.  They/I would need a ladder to reach it, but the spray can shellac was at waist level, right in front of me.  OK, why not give the staff a break and let me try something new. 

I applied it by spraying about two inches from the bars and using a newspaper to catch the overspray.  Owing that these were Loscos and the tape is accessible, I think I had much last mess than with the can and paint brush.  It went on fine and quickly.  in a pinch, with accessible tape, spray on shellac will work.

Regards,

Jay

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen spray shellac, but that’s good to know it exists and can work in certain applications. I imagine it would be trickier with drop bars!

I’ve had my best results using those little 1.5” foam applicator brushes with the chisel tip.
