I chose super-blonde dewaxed flakes for some grey handlebar tape, but I cannot recall my reasons for dewaxed... The color did darken a little even with super-blonde, similar to the tape/twine getting a little wet. I've also used a mix of amber and garnet flakes on white handlebar tape and it looks quite nice.
In either instance, I recommend a 2:1 cut. It goes on light and is easier to control the build up of shellac. I prefer just enough shellac to give some durability to the handlebar tape, but if you want that glassy, thick shellac feel and look, then you could use a lager cut (4:1 or so). I don't wear gloves and ride frequently in the rain, so a lighter coating works best for me.
