Shellac is a hard natural resin produced of secretions of the Lac insects. When dissolved in high grade denatured alcohol the resulting solution has good coating qualities that are tough, abrasion resistant and imparts a high gloss shine. Custom colors can be made by intermixing various stock solutions of different colored shellac. A standard stock solution consists of (1) part shellac to (2) parts denatured alcohol. The stock solution is then further reduced to a 10 to 20% solution for use as a final coating. (Light pale in color, transparent)
