It is my understanding that the water will weaken the shellac & a good steaming will reactivate it.
The alcohol method will actually remove the shellac by bonding to the shellac & taking it out as it evaporates. Water doesn't do that.
Thanks David. It has been around a few years but getting some noggin time in 2013 for the first time...

That is just a cryptic handwriting of 7 1/8 on the sweatband noting what size hat the sweatband goes in...
Welcome & good luck with your info quest....nice first post!
You also may want to contact Drew at Clean a Hat.
He did a couple of sweats for me in hats that weren't really Optimo level lids...

Sure looks that way Nik. Not sure I'd have the Blue Smoke if the Dove existed when I placed my order.
I'm REALLY interested in how that Legacy Dove will look & how nice a hand Art can get with it.
He does such a nice job with the ArtLites!
