Hello,
I am wondering how long you have to wait for shellac to dry before you can shoot topcoat on it? When it's dry to the touch or do you need to leave it overnight?

Are you talking spray can shellac or your own mix?

I use Zinnser as well and it's written in the directions to wait 45 minutes. That's usually how I wait and it worked fine for me.
