Seedlac is harvested from the sticklac by crushing and sieving to remove organic materials. The sieved lac is washed to remove insect parts and other soluble material, leaving the product we know as seedlac The prefix "seed" refers to the seed like pellet shape of this basic natural material from which all shellac is made. (Strain the liquid shellac through a paint filter or cheesecloth, to remove organic debris (proof this is an organic natural product). The natural color of the seedlac is influenced by the sap consumed by the lac insect and the season of harvest. KUSMI |

BUTTON Shellac
Buttonlac is a unique shellac product preferred by restorers and those looking for a very protective shellac finish. It is superb for French polishing due to its hardness. Button Shellacs are prepared by the hand made process of heating the seedlac in a cotton tube. The resin secretes through the pores of the cloth and the molten shellac is formed into buttons.The processing heat polymerizes the resin, resulting in a very tough & moisture resistant finishing material. Button Shellac is preferred for finishing floors and interior woodwork. - Making Buttons - Photo & Trivia KUSMI #1 |
