Can anyone tell me why my carbon monoxide detector goes off when I use shellac? It doesn’t go off when I use any other finish.

I have no idea but it is mentioned in this link.
See: Will exposure to other household gases or vapors cause the CO alarm to sound a false alarm?

Just like one of several smoke detectors I have. One is near a bathroom. My granddaughter takes looooooooooooooooong hot showers. When it goes off she knows it is time to get out cus' I'll be running to tell her ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

Thanks, perhaps it's the alcohol. I guess I'm not afraid, just curious!
