Since the darker "Blotches" you are seeing suck in more shellac, they are more sealed and therefore less blotchey after the shellac.

Steve, I have transtint dyes and on past projects, mixed with alcohol. If I seal with shellac as you suggest, will the alcohol dissolve the shellac and create a mess? Any advice? I’ve read others mix with acetone but that dissolves binding…. Thanks in advance
