Applied 3M Finesse-It II to a clean cloth and polished with medium pressure. Wiped clean with a different cloth. Worked really well. See next two pics.
Finally I went over everything with some lemon oil. Suppose to stop fingerprints.
I read something about using denim or burlap to buff. I tried it and it just made scratches. Won't do that again.
So in conclusion, this method worked great for a gloss finish. For satin I would have waited the same time to cure, then scuff with grey or white scotchbrite. Then lemon oil.
Lesson learned- After pore filling, the shellac was sprayed at 2lb cut (and probably too heavy) and wasn't leveled so I have some small dull splotches under the finish.
Next time I'll be spraying a 1 lb cut very thin and maybe wet sand with 1000 before starting Tru-oil.
