Hey,I mean the results speak for themselves. I have used it for numerous years and numerous projects from guitars to furniture and it does exactly what it says on the tin (well bottle)
At just over A$70 for 500ml (shipped) it's relatively on the expensive side but it's way better than anything you'll get from Bunnings! The 500ml does become 1 litre when diluted with methylated spirits, which I do, but then I'll do numerous coats (I think I did 10 or more on this neck). Then polish it with micro-mesh, as with anything the final finish will always come back to how well the wood is prepped in the first place.
I've used traditional shellacs before and it's way, way, easier than doing an actual french polish - but also is way harder wearing - but in the same way as normal shellac it takes a few weeks for it to fully harden.
