1.1 Lb/ 17.6 oz Shellac Flakes Blonde Shellac Finish for Home Wood Craft Decoration Household Painting Supplies (1 Pack)(Light Color)

Quality finish. As good as any brand I've used. Color is as advertised. Mixes well. Shellac can be tricky, make sure you know what to do with this product before you order it.

Although shellac is prone to be damaged by water, it is otherwise a superb finish. This is especially true for smaller objects like gift or trinket boxes, which I make a lot of. It dries quickly and allows for multiple coatings in a short time. Also easy to repair. This lot of flakes has excellent color or should I say lack thereof, and mixes quite well in the denatured alcohol I use. Also works well, when thinned properly, in my air brush.nice product and will purchase again as needed.

I used this to seal MDF for my 36 x 26 router table top. My first time with shellac flakes.I used 99% isopropyl alcohol, 10oz to 1/2 cup of flakes for a 5-1 mix. Didn't grind the flakes first.I put the mixture in a glass jar with tight lid, set the jar into a narrow saucepan with 2" of hot water. The small diameter pan kept the jar from tipping over.I swirled the jar every 10 minutes or so. and in an hour, it was 100% dissolved, at least to my eyes.It went on smoothly, dried in minutes. Enough for 3 thin coats.For a thinker mix, 4-1, use only 8oz alcohol.

Good quality Shellac, price could be better, but the product is good.

I mix this with dewaxed shellac to increase plasticity and therefore durability. Dewaxed shellac is brittle and can crack easily.Shellac with wax should be avoided when used underneath a non-shellac finish.

man is this stuff sticky! don't drip any on your table. if you do, wipe it up really fast or it's there forever.

Do you want to spend hours mixing shellac and still not have shellac dissolve?If yes, go ahead and buy this.

This shellac is great for making sealing wax with Venice turpentine. It's an obscure use, but the old shellac flakes I had were completely unusable. References suggested that, in general, mixed with alcohol shellac has a one year shelf life, and dry flakes have a three year shelf life.
