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

works fine in homemade red layout die

I haven't used this color yet but the first batch I made was amazing. I like the look and feel more than polyurethane. You have to move quicker because of how fast the alcohol evaporates but I think it's worth it.

Quality shellac flakes, crumbled and dissolved quickly and completely. Nice orangey color that I wanted. Good coverage and dried quickly.

Dissolves in isopropyl alcohol great only used it on dark colors so far but works great

They're shellac flakes all right, of a dark purplish hue. Seem to be consistent in color and texture. Cannot say if they are dewaxed -- time will tell. I use an old coffee grinder to create a powder, then mix a "2 pound cut" with alcohol to make a sealer coat on wood projects.A couple light coats slightly darkens the wood, adds a touch of 'richness', for lack of a better term. Very useful in patterned plywood projects - makes the edge grain 'pop' with added contrast. Also nice effect on dark wood species like walnut. You may want to try a sample before commiting to lighter woods like maple.

💯 muy buen producto 👍

Not great, not bad

I bought a lot of this shellac and all of it was unusable. I dissolved it in denatured alcohol as is standard practice and the stuff remained gummy. It never dried and remained sticky for weeks. I suspect that the product is adulterated with some kind of filler because this shellac is far cheaper than anything else on Amazon. Don't buy it, it never works.
