{"title":"Shellac Flakes — Wax In","description":"\u003cp\u003eWax-containing flake brings together the old chemistry and the modern form: the 5–6% natural wax that has always been in shellac, in a machine-pressed flake that is quick to weigh and quick to dissolve. It is the grade for the finisher who wants what shellac has always done — the deep, glassy, unmistakably old surface that French polishing was built on — without breaking down whole buttons by hand. The resin stays intact, the wax stays where it belongs. The color runs from a warm lemon to a deep, layered black.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"black-shellac-flake","title":"Black Shellac Flake","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack shellac flake.
