You can see trail of the rapidly drying shellac just behind my rubbing pad as I apply a single coat. I'm rubbing in a circular motion, at about 33-1/3rpm.

As you can see, the initial solvent will have "flashed" off completely long before I make it around again. I can go around hundreds of times in a single session.
