I have some beautiful 20 yr old addi tops that show age beautifully. If I use superblond for F/P, will it add more color. If I want no more color, what shellac should I use?
Thanks guys,

What is the clearest shellac? Some where I think I saw a shellac clearer than super blonde?

Shellac.net has some platina which is a bit clearer than superblonde

Shellac.net

Super Blonde is about as true clear as I have seen but I have not tried Shellac.net's "Platina" so I can not compare

I occasionally use the "platina" grade from shellac.net, and it is about a close
as shellac can get to clear. You wouldn't really notice a huge difference
between super blonde and platina until the finish starts to build, but with
the cumulative tinting of coats the difference does add up.
