It’s in the third paragraph of my IP, but I’ll reiterate:

I started off with Howard’s Restore-a-Finish for dark walnut, which worked very well for the small dings and finish losses which are inevitable after 170 years.
However, the walnut back panels behind the shelves were a problem on another level. Due to repeated humid heat exposure, the shellac had alligatored severely. I used a new brush lightly dipped in denatured alcohol to repeatedly brush these areas in a feathering fashion to avoid brushstrokes and melt the outer layer of shellac. Once it set up it looked more like wood grain and had evened out significantly. I counted this as an 80% to 90% improvement.

It sure is, I forgot what I originally read about it. Apologies.
