    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.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    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!
