While I agree with your reasoning, it's a matter of degree. A few hours in a pot of hot (tap hot) water will really shorted the time for it to dissolve. I don't believe that will have a significant impact on the shellac. I believe you'd find Jewett and other finishing authors in agreement on this.
I also suggest you could add c>>I did see on person say that heating it up makes the final finish more
How about using Isopropyl Alcohal? This is supposed to be water free.

Sure, if you can find anhydrous. Rubbing alcohol is 70% v/v iPrOH and the rest water. I've got some 91% iPrOH, but that's still 9% water. Not good.
Everclear and Hock flakes... some day.
Hi Ted,
Perhaps pure isopropyl alcohol is water free, but the sort sold at drug stores labeled "Isopropyl Alcohol" is loaded with water.
HTH,
Just takes a little corn, some copper pipe... ;)

Check your state laws for making your own alcohol fuel. I believe it's legal in all states now, or was before Ashcroft, et al.
