That's a no, no.

Waste of vodka imho.

Vodka will dissolve shellac flakes so the logical answer is yes. Normally one uses denatured alcohol such as meths, which is a great deal cheaper than vodka usually, but there is nothing to stop you using vodka if you wish. Usually 250g flakes to 1 litre of liquid. You can go up to 500g per litre if you want a thicker polish but add gradually.

The shellac is not a good mixer for vodka, it tastes awful
