Hello Academy,

   I am trying to research formulas for hat stiffeners.  I am interested in a shellac based sizing,  and I wonder if anyone knows of additives that are sometimes used with shellac.  My present formula of 1/2 shellac and 1/2 denatured alcohol can leave a board finish,  OK for some things,  but I would like the nice firm finish that you can get in a mens hat sized at the factory.  Any ideas?  Thanks,  Ignatius
