<p>Does Zinsser brand Universal Sealcoat adhere to Cyanoacrylate? I called Rustoleum and they have not tested this. Wondering if anyone (Frank Ford!) has used this stuff over super glue?</p>
<p></p>
<p>I know that its essentially de-waxed shellac dissolved in denatured alcohol, just like you would dissolve flake shellac so it should stick to just about anything, but there are some other additives in there so I'm not sure if it has any adhesion problems with glues like…</p>

<p>I am awaiting delivery of a second-hand <a href="http://www.bigmuddymandolin.com/" target="_blank">Big Muddy mandolin</a>, which, in conversations with the maker, I have learned is finished with French-polished shellac.</p>
<p>As I have never owned a shellac-finished instrument before, I am wondering a couple of things: First, how durable is the finish? I'm pretty sure I don't want to get any water on it, but is there anything else to look out for?</p>

<p>I restore a lot of classical guitars and find myself french polishing a lot. I have read in old books about adding tree resins and ox gall to make the shellac more durable.
