If you mix 2 parts denatured alcohol to 1 part shellac, you can't go wrong. Just use a measuring cup and do it in that ratio and it is foolproof.

What I love about this mix is the quickness in drying time. I've done pieces of furniture applying the piss coat and when done it only took a few minutes time and it could be sanded with 220 to give it a glass smooth surface to apply stain to.

Most other products like you mention take more time to dry so they can be sanded.

I'm not talking about a sanding sealer. The pre stains I've used actually require you to stain within 2 hours of applying. I wait maybe 20 minutes. If you leave them too long, they aren't effective
