Shellac in flakes - 500 gr
Shellac is obtained from the secretions of an insect found in the forests of Thailand. Secretions are collected from the bark of trees on which they are deposited by insects.
Once purified, the substance takes the form of yellow / brown flakes.
Shellac can be used as a final varnish in gilding.
If shellac flakes are used, it must be dissolved in alcohol with an alcohol content greater than 94 ° (100 grams of shellac in a liter of alcohol).
Shellac in flakes is afraid of heat and humidity. It should therefore be stored in a cool and dry place.
