i dont know why he did this ????- but my grand father has a late 50s martin teardrop mandolin that sounds like it was sent by the angels. anyway about 10 years ago ago he got the gright idea to brush schellac on it to make it look new again--well he now has alzheimers and is dosent really know much anymore - my mom is taking care of him - i would like to restore it to its former glory - any suggestions. the back and sides look like a pretty thin coat - but the top looks pretty "gummy" and heavy in spots. its a 2 tone sunburst
