How do you make gasket shellac?

To make gasket shellac, start by dissolving shellac flakes in denatured alcohol or ethanol. Use a ratio of about 1 part shellac flakes to 3 parts alcohol for a medium consistency. Stir the mixture until the flakes are fully dissolved, and allow it to sit for a few hours for better clarity and consistency. Once ready, you can apply it to your gaskets for sealing purposes.
