Need refinishing help...ASAP!!!!

>Hi all,
Just got asked to refresh the surface of a small walnut demi-lune table. It is about 80-90 years old and I am assuming it has a shellac finish. With that in mind, I applied some rubbing alcohol to the surface, let it sit for a minute or so and removed the alcohol. This cleaned the surface and left a somewhat gummie surface. I assume this means that it is shellac and I am free to apply fresh stuff. Am I safe with this or have just messed up an otherwise nice little table.
Did I mention that the person (my grandmother) wants the table back tomorrow? Hence the urgency.
Thanks huge!
