One of the pallet stones on today's movement (a Zim 2602.1) has assymetrical shellac.

It looks to me that half the shellac has come away, although the stone appears to still be secure with the shellac that remains. I'm thinking I should probably repair this before I proceed. Is it likely to be successful if I add a little shellac and warm it until it melts? Is the existing shellac likely to melt at the same time and reflow with the new? Or should I remove all the existing shellac before applying new? (This will be only my second time applying shellac to a pallet.)

The photo is looking almost straight down the pivot which is why it looks broken. I think the pivots are actually fine.

These are disassembly pics, prior to cleaning. (I'll use cleaner Rodico after cleaning!)
