Advice needed. I sanded the tops of these kiln dried rounds and then coated both sides with shellac. Most of them split a few days later.
The untouched rounds have been stable.
How can I make these smooth and shiny and keep them intact?

What would be a good finish to use then?
I'd try spray-on lacquer.
