 Re: Traditional shellac versus hot glue

The Music Medic synthetic shellac is a hot glue... that dries similarly to shellac. Regardless of whether it disolves in alcohol... which it doesn't really, at least not like real shellac. You can clean it from pad cups with alcohol, but when I put shellac and the MM synthetic shellac in a cup of alcohol, the real shellac disappeared after a while and the synthetic shellac softened and seeems to disolve... but still had chunks long after the real shellac disappeared. Anyway, the way it is when dry is probably why they call it shellac. Too bad they don't mention that it's synthetic (unless I missed it).

>> This is why I like this synthetic shellac as it has a relatively low melting point compared to some natural shellac, but not as low melting as hot glue. <<

The fact that the sticks bend from extremely low force of leaning against the edge of a glass in a warm (not very hot) room, makes me not trust it in a pad cup where there is constant uneven force. It might not matter but I'm not sure I want to risk it.
