Correct ratio when mixing Shellac for Ink sac retention

[Paul-H]

Hi all

As subject, anyone got the correct ratio (or correct ish) when mixing Shellac for Ink sac attachment.

I use a 3lb cut for my woodwork, what ratio do you guys (and girls &#128521 use.

Thanks for any help with this

in your post about this on FPN... Whatever comes out of the Zinsser can. That's what Sheaffer used, and all that I've ever used. I haven't found that the cut matters much at all.

3 pound seems a little thick. I’d go no more than 2.

Hi.
I use shellac in isopropanol. I newer measured what ratio exactly... the solution has a viscosity like honey.
Works well for our ink sacs and to glue marocco leather onto vintage cameras.

Thanks

Apparently Zinsser Shellac is a 3lb cut and that's what I use in my woodworking so will give it a go on my next sac replacement.
