A little over 5 years ago, when I was new here, a whole bunch of people made fun of my recommendation that one cleans all shellac-based products with denatured alcohol. Really; posts of moving images of "me" on fire, the whole lot.

The truth is, if I told them shellac was made from crushed beetles (there's a wicked die-off of the lac beetle in China right now and the price has soared), and, wait for it, den. alc. (only!), they really woulda had a howl.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
