You guys should really check out Vijay Velji in San Diego. I've been getting everything from him for 4 years. Super clean, super fresh, high quality and great prices. I've never had to filter other than through a disposable paint strainer to catch undisolved pieces because I was in a hurry.

Great article in Nov/Dec 2010 Finewoodworking about him and his family's Shellac business in India and the process of getting it from a bug to you. You have to have FWW.com access to download the whole article but here is an abstract:

What about this video - looks great from what I can see - I guess the same techniques apply to finishing a guitar ? thanks for the tip Tarhead
