bolpol Blonde DeWaxed Shellac Flakes

Makes traditional French Polish and Sanding Sealer.

Blonde DeWaxed Shellac gives wood a clear, high gloss finish which is resistant to ultra-violet light and does not darken over time, making it perfect for pale wood as well as allowing the full beauty and colour variations of darker wood to shine through.  

Colour: Light (maximum of 13 on the Gardner scale)

New applications of shellac amalgamate with existing shellac layers, allowing repairs to be carried out on the damaged areas only without re-finishing the entire piece. Shellac is also used as a sanding sealer, knot sealer and stain blocker and adds protection to surfaces in areas of high humidity when applied as a top coat.

Store flakes in a cool environment and out of sunlight. Once made into a solution use within 6 months, for best results. Shellac is dissolved in denatured alcohol/methylated spirits and the solution can be adjusted to suit your particular requirements. The following recipes are a guide only ; the higher the volume of shellac flakes the thicker the mixture will be.
