Pure Dewaxed Flake · 98% Purity

— The Process

Nature refined by centuries of craft

Raw lac resin is harvested from forest trees in India and Thailand, then subjected to a meticulous dewaxing process that removes naturally-occurring waxes. What remains is pure, clear shellac — prized since the 17th century for its incomparable warmth and depth.

  • Exceptional clarity and amber warmth, free from wax haze
  • Bonds directly to bare wood, metal, leather, and most surfaces
  • Compatible under and over all oil, lacquer, and water-based finishes
  • Self-leveling with rapid dry time — reworkable within 30 minutes
  • Natural, non-toxic, and reversible with denatured alcohol
  • Ideal sealer for tannin-rich woods, preventing bleed-through

Where It Excels

01

Fine Woodworking

The traditional sealer and finish for furniture and cabinetry. Brings out figure and grain like nothing else, building a warm amber patina with each coat.

02

Instrument Making

The historic finish for violins, guitars, and pianos. Acoustic transparency ensures the finish enhances, never dampens, tonal resonance.

03

Restoration Work

Reversible and forgiving — the conservator’s choice for antique furniture and object restoration where integrity must be maintained.

04

Sanding Sealer

Applied thinly before topcoats, dewaxed shellac creates an ideal, pore-filling foundation that accepts any finish chemistry above it.

05

Stain Blocking

Locks in knots, tannins, and smoke stains. Prevents bleed-through on cedar, pine, and reclaimed wood before painting or finishing.

06

French Polish

The foundation of the French Polish tradition. Mixed to a 1–2 lb cut, it builds a mirror finish through patient padded application.
