You can dillute shellac with any type of denatured alcohol, I think. I've seen methylehydrate(sp?) at the local hardware store, which should work. I was using Behlan's Bekhol(sp?).

If you're under age, no soup for you. Otherwise, go to your local purveyor of fine spirits.

I believe it is legal in NY. At least, I remember having had Everclear in NY. (Well, I didn't have it, but it was present.) Call your local liquor store. (Pick up the yellow pages) I don't remember how the laws go in NY, but in VT we can only buy hard liquors at liquor stores, whilst beer, wine and malt beverages can be purchased all over the place. If you need a smallish bottle (smaller than a fifth) it's probably behind the counter and you'll have to ask for it.
