    Ok so a little more research and I found out that the stuff I have is NOT wax-free. It's also not easy to let this stuff sit so the wax settles to the bottom, because the company uses some special homogenizing process.
    So anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here? Is sanding a bad idea?

    No need to sand if you want to remove the shellac. It will dissolve in methylated spirit.

    Did the original coats dry hard ? Shellac that is past its use by date will not dry properly.

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    I'd bet it has something to do with the fact that you didn't thin it. It may take a while for it to dry, since your application was not diluted, Give it a week, see how it does, it should, Should set up, It's just probably a bit thick.

    I wouldn't want to be the one person who didn't seal his stone and had a problem. That would be my luck. I'd rather be safe than sorry and seal it. With all due respect to the aforementioned seller....

    You'd have to be careful sanding, I bet you could wipe some of it off with those pre treated Gojo wipes, or scrubs...or maybe some thinner...

    Sorry, I just re read your original post, Allowing more time probably won't matter....
