Transparent Dewaxed Super Blonde Shellac Powder | Ultra Clear Finish for Fine Woodworking | 4 oz

Mixes easier than flakes

gritty layer on the bottom of glass container after dissolving blonde shellac had to filter this out. never had this problem with flakes . possibly due to grinding process. I will stick with flakes from now on.

All shellac has yellow/orange tints, but this is the most clear shellac I've used. it mixed effortlessly with isopropyl alcohol (90%) thanks to being powdered and not in flake form - I could use it almost straight away!Otherwise, this seems like a nice, typical shellac with a great color. I prefer a "1 pound cut" which is on the lighter side, as it leaves behind a very thin coat that is easy to wipe over again to build up.

Dewaxed shellac has a reputation in the woodworking world as a universal sealer. While it's not 100% compatible with all finishes, it really is a fantastic in-between layer for two finishes that might not normally adhere to one another.This shellac arrived pulverized into a powder, which is a good thing (takes less time to dissolve). It was clumpy, though, so it will take some elbow grease to get the whole thing back to a fine powder. The dry stuff has a much longer shelf life than pre-mixed shellac, so it's great for hobbyist woodworkers who don't go through gallons of finish every week. I do wish the bag was labeled, though. Mine was just packed into an unmarked resealable mylar bag.
