You'll never be able to remove the shellac in layers. the shellac bonds with whatever ink it was covering, it usually makes the ink appear darker, that's why I'm sure you have some solid signatures on the ball. But the instant you start to sand off the shellac you're going to regret it. The ink will most definitely come off with it. Even if you're delicately wet sanding or fine sanding all you're going to have is a matte finished shellac ball.
Sorry for the bad info, but I've seen people try this over and over and they always come up regretting it and saying 'should have left it be".
Pictures?
