The process of French polishing and applying it at home:
Firstly they clean your table with clean perfectly smooth wood surface and also a dust free, warm room while. Also any imperfect shapes and surface in the wood or dust that settles onto the surface while you're working will show up in the polish. A chilled room will cause the polish to be cloudy while applying which will be looking shabby. Then mix the shellac flakes of around 80 grams with denatured alcohol. The alcohol should be around 1 pint. The more fresher it is the better results will be. One should remember to wear gloves while dealing with shellac.
Soak a small amount of gauze in shellac and place it inside a cotton cloth like a piece of t shirt, old bed sheet. Keep in mind that the cloth should be of white color. Then tie up the ends with string to make it as good as a handle.
Add a few drops of olive oil to the end of the cloth. You can use an eyedropper to get proper measured amount of olive oil on the surface of the cloth. The purpose of oil is to keep it away from drying and sticking. As if the cloth sticks it can cause problems like uneven polishing layers and shapes to your furniture.   
Apply the shellac soaked cloth to the wood surface in sweeping or gliding posture when you are working on small area approx 2 square feet. It’s better to go for professional experienced artisans of French polishing Melbourne than doing this hassle free task.
