Time between enamel and shellac

I have painted a guitar with Behr Marquee Semi-gloss enamel (Water based).

According to their website:

  • Dry time : 1 Hr
  • Re-coat time : 2 Hr
  • Cure : 30 Days

I want to shine it with Bulls eye shellac.

My questions are:

  • Do I need to wait 30 days before applying shellac or can I do it after 2Hrs, or 24 Hrs?

  • I need to sand brush lines from the painted surface. How soon can I start the final sanding before applying shellac?
