A old jar of Shellac just exploded all over my new dress :| Does anything get shellac out of fabric? I'm not holding high hopes but I just thought I'd ask.
1.get a cotton wool rag and moisten it with methylated spirits 2.dab the stain with rag. 3.go over the spot with a soapy cloth 4.if the fabric is washable toss it into the washer immediatley if not continue blotting the cloth with the rag until dry. i do not know if this is what you were looking for but it is off a website sooo.......
Shellac can be very brittle especially when cold. If solvents (suitable for use on the particular fabric) are not successful, try putting the item in the freezer for a while, then fold the fabric and roll it between your fingers to encourage the shellac to fracture and separate from the fibres.

Yikes....not good. If it's still wet, you can use methylated spirits on a cotton ball to dab it out, but odds of you just happening to have that on hand is slim. You can try dabbing a little paint thinner on it, but depending on the material, that may cause more harm than good.
Off a website - you need to cite your source or else it's plagiarism.
That's actually pretty clever - this is a good option.
Thanks so much, I'm going to try that right now!
You are welcome. I hope it works !
