Description

Shellac is one of the most versatile wood finishes you can use. Shellac flakes are generally waxed.

Shellac flakes can be used for a full French polish or as a sanding sealer.

The most readily available and versatile of these is the Golden or Orange Flake Shellac also known as SILTN, it dissolves readily in Ethanol (methylated spirits) and can be used in a variety of ways.

Flake Shellac has a virtually unlimited shelf life if kept dry, cool and out of direct sunlight, thus making this the most practical way of purchasing the product. Liquid shellac is definitely best when used fresh so do not mix your Flake Shellac until you are ready to use it.

1kg shellac flakes, yields approximately 4.5 litres of mixed shellac.

HOW TO MIX SHELLAC

Add Shellac flakes to the appropriate volume of Methylated Spirits. Leave until flakes are thoroughly dissolved, (stir occasionally) finally strain the liquid through a stocking into a storage container. (Shellac is imported in large hessian bags and straining removes any foreign material)

Do not use a metal container to store liquid shellac (French Polish) as this will degrade the polish at a very fast rate.

This mixture may be thinned as required with methylated spirits.
