Description: Shellac has been used for centuries as the material to French Polish timber. Shellac is non-toxic and soaks deep into the surface of timber enhancing the grain and natural beauty. Aside from French Polishing, shellac is often rubbed into timber as a sealer, before other lacquers are applied as a way of enhancing the beauty of the timber and increasing adhesion of the lacquer. Blonde (dewaxed) shellac is more commonly used and gives a clearer finish, Amber (gold) gives a darker, warmer colour but can become patchy due to the stronger colour. - High quality - 2 ounce (56 gram) or 7 ounce (200 gram) packs - 1-2 ounces required to polish one guitar - Dissolves in alcohol or Methylated Spirits - Ideal for sealing an instrument before lacquering **French polishing is an old proven method of protecting and beautifying timber by applying dissolved shellac using a pad to deposit hundreds of very thin coats. The raw material used to make shellac is actually produced by the Lac insect. It is collected and goes through a process to purify and de-wax the raw material to form shellac flakes in varying grades. The flakes are dissolved in industrial alcohol or methylated spirits to the desired consistency and then strained ready for use.
