Shellac is a versatile, natural resin known for its exceptional finish and protective qualities. Harvested from the secretions of the Lac beetle, Shellac has been used for centuries as a superior wood finish, high-gloss polish, sealer, and even in gilding and artistic applications. Whether you're a professional restorer, fine furniture maker, or artisan crafter, Shellac delivers a rich, warm tone and a smooth, durable finish that enhances the natural beauty of surfaces.
It’s quick-drying, sandable, and compatible with most traditional finishes. Perfect for French polishing, sealing gold leaf, protecting delicate surfaces, or creating beautiful layers of depth and shine.
How to Mix:
Add 250 grams of Shellac to ¾ of a litre of methylated spirits and stir. The Shellac will dissolve in about 2 hours — stir or shake frequently. Once fully dissolved, top up the mixture with ¼ of a litre of methylated spirits. Your Shellac polish is then ready to use.
