Please, here’s a link to a Shellac ‘Pound Cut List’ using US units.

The “standard” two pound cut was too heavy for me. The much thinner ready-mixed Chestnut Sanding Sealer has been both easier to apply and left better results, at the expense of one more layer. Filtering the two pound one helped a lot, but still needs more alcohol, I think.
(A, probably redundant, small tip to those who can find 99.9% alcohol [UK=176 proof, US=200]: Five seconds in the microwave oven will break the weak bonds, and make it more efficient).
