Four families of shellac, each with its own color and working character. Start where your finish wants to go.
-
Dewaxed Flakes
The modern grade — eight tones, the right choice under polyurethane and on pale woods.
-
Wax-In Flakes
Traditional chemistry in flake form — what shellac has always been, easier to weigh.
-
Button Lac
Pressed by hand, the historically authentic form, still made the older way.
-
Seedlac
The rawest form, before the press or the melt — for finishers who start one step earlier.
