The shellacking is DONE!!!! 
And I never would have gotten it done so fast without the wife's assistance. 
As soon as these dry, we will remove the backdrops from the wall, store them in the workshop, and then prepare the walls for hanging the backdrop. We are using Zinsser Peel Stop clear binding sealer. I've also got to spackle, sand, and smooth the masonite divider wall.
