SKS Laminate Stock Finiish
My 1951 refurbed Tula had a shellac finish. The first time out with it this spring, my bug juice made it sticky. So... I removed it and applied two coats of varnish. Problem solved.

I wonder if I could kill two birds with one stone and finish the stock in deet.
My M91/30 was finished using amber shellac and was hoping to get the right shade the first time. From what I can see from google images the one they use is either a orange or clear shellac.
Thanks for the responses,

Louthepou has posted somewhere the proper colour and number, I think it was amber rather than orange, but don't quote me. A PM to him would no doubt get you the correct answer. Lee Valley Tools has shelac.
Personally I have been able to repair patches of missing shelac by just using a brush with alcohol to disolve some of the shelac around the missing bit and "stretch" it over the bad bit.
