I recently noticed one of my spirit varnish pad-polish bottles that had been sitting undisturbed for many months. I thought it was an interesting image of how the lemon shellac solution I started with begins to stratify of its own accord into its component fractions when sitting in a container for a long time.  I once put some lemon shellac varnish into a centrifuge and was able to easily count 17 distinct layers of material.
