I purchased Shellac to apply on a cedar kitchen table I am building. It worked out great! It is Dewaxed which allows other finishes to stick to it. I use the "Purple Shellac" to tint the tabletop and applied Polyurethane on top as a clear coat to protect the Shellac and the wood underneath.I put the required amount of shellac flakes in an herb grinder and turned them into powder. Then I put the powder into a mason jar and added correct amount of Denatured Alcohol making sure to shake it every 15 or 20 minutes while I was working in my shop. The next day I had a perfect shellac for my needs. Just remember to check the formula to get the right mix.I would highly recommend these Shellac Flakes for any woodworker of for anyone just doing a restoration or needing to finish a project.

Very few contaminates in this shellac, the blonde has a few darker pieces and vice versa but invisible when mixed.These flakes dissolve readily without grinding in 15 minutes with occasional stirring, and with this set you can get any shade of Shellac from deep reddish purple to very light, clear yellow.As a hobby wood worker... I wont have to buy Shellac again for years!

Only used the blonde flakes so far. Ground to a powder mixed with denatured alcohol. Applied multiple times to red oak. Sanded between applications with 280 grit. The finish came out ok, but patience is needed to get a nice finish. Apply light coats, make sure it dries completely (high humidity makes for slow drying times) before each additional application. View you tube how-to vids. It helps a lot.

Forget buying premade shellac. Making your own with denatured alcohol and these flakes is so much cheaper and the flakes give you control of the cut. A little goes a long way with these flakes.

It dissolves well and works well. I'm using it to restore the finish on a vintage Fender 12-string and an antique gaming table with fine marquetry work. It has performed beautifully.

I’m no expert, first time making and using my own shellac. This garnet shellac was wonderful used in my Hvlp sprayer! I bought it a second time, MUCH CHEAPER than other retailers. Haven’t used the blonde yet but expect nothing different.
