Old World Shellac offers a refined, de-waxed super blonde shellac in a convenient 1 lb (16 oz) format. Designed for discerning woodworkers and instrument finishers, these flakes dissolve smoothly in denatured alcohol to create a consistent, work-friendly solution. The silky blonde color helps preserve natural wood character while allowing the grain to breathe and develop depth as you build coats.
To prepare a workable finish, grind the flakes before dissolving to speed up the dissolution process. Dissolve in denatured alcohol and stir until evenly dispersed. Use between coats of other finishes to improve adhesion, or apply as a standalone French polish layer for a traditional hand-rubbed look. If you notice a slower mix or clumping, grinding again can help speed up the solution.
Critical practical notes: if shipped in temperatures above 90°F, some blocking may occur during transit; this does not affect the final product properties. Always reseal promptly after use to preserve performance and consistency.
High-quality de-waxed, super blonde shellac flakes from Old World Shellac, packaged to support reliable mixing and long shelf life. Ideal for fine wood finishing, antique restoration, and as a reliable sealer under other finishes.
