I'm trying to restore a vintage fountain pen and I just need a small amount of shellac to adhere the new bladder to the section. I'm not planning on taking this up as a hobby so I don't want to buy a half gallon of the stuff at Home Depot... 

For your time and kindness I can trade any of the following: eternal thanks, a small bag of pistachios, a coffee at the Tazza D'oro, a bottled homebrew (pale ale, nothing special, provided you are 21+), or I can show you the pen and tell you the story about it (again, nothing special but it's a nice story anyway).

Many good wishes in the New Year,

Iva
