Ships from Waynesboro, Virginia.
Machine-made lemon shellac flake. The wax-containing lemon grade, pressed clean and even — a yellow-amber flake with the natural lac wax intact and a consistent, predictable flake every time. The clean counterpart to the handmade flake: same warm tone, same wax-containing film, dependable batch to batch.
Wax-containing means the natural lac wax has been left in, and these flakes hold more of it than button lac does. The wax gives the cured film a warmth the dewaxed grades cannot quite match, and the machine press gives you an even, uniform flake that dissolves cleanly to cut. The solution reads slightly cloudy in the bottle — that is the wax, doing its work.
Mixing notes: see the pound cut chart for dry weight per gallon, quart, and pint at the common working cuts.
Lemon is the tone to reach for when amber is too much — pale, cool-reading hardwoods, and any project that wants the wax-containing build with a clean yellow-amber middle.
Sourced direct from a fifth-generation refining family in India who has supplied this bench since 1990. Pure, uncut, genuine.
