020 Shellac Cells? This week I tried to make "shellac cells" (or "shellac lacing") following the method used by Annemarie Ridderhof here (

The wood (actual wood, not MDF) was laser-cut 25mm (1 inch) disks purchased from here:

https://www.bunnings.com.au/feast-watson-250g-shellac-flakes_p1567019 ) bought from Bunnings a few years ago. Freshly dissolved in methylated spirits. No problems in dissolving it, there were no lumps or anything like that.
I am feeling very disheartened about this fail.
