Good use of the 30 seconds. How easy / expensive is it to get shellac these days? L

just go to your neighborhood micheals (art supply store) and your looking at around 5-15 dollars

I'm not living in your geographical location but how much do you get for 5-15$? L

For pure curiosity do you have any idea of how many insect-excretions it takes per bowl? L

Shellac(alcohol with the shellac flakes), not so common as it used to be, however... Varnish(linseed oil with the shellac flakes) is a suitable substitute. Is cheap, and available almost anywhere. Polyurethane and lacquer are, in every way I can think of, a better finish. Most home stores, any woodworking store, many hardware stores, will all cary them. Couple dollars for a gallon.

Thanks, it was shellac specifically that I was interested in (w/ref to the alternatives you mentioned) L

I think you can get Modge Podge for about six dollars at any craft store... That's shellac, right? ...

lemonie in reply to theHPbeeSep 6, 2009. 2:29 AM

No, I don't believe Modge Podge is shellac. L

JohnnyArt in reply to lemonieOct 10, 2009. 2:59 PM

Mod Podge is not shellac...but it could really work for this project...it's water-based, and they have an "outdoor" variety that's supposed to be water resistant. Apply in several thin coats...

It was shellac specifically that I was interested in, as it's not that easy to find and rather old-fashioned.

Great instructable ;) I can't wait to try it. Are you going to do any written instructions or know where any are? One of my friends does not have a computer and wants to try this.
