I too had good success with a 50/50 mix of Bullseye (amber) shellac and denatured alchohol. No splotching except for a small area on the back panel. This resulted from my stupidity, though. I knocked the still wet panel off the bench and onto the floor. True to Murphey's Law, it landed face down. Damn!
