Bleached Shellac

Refined Finish | Light Tone | Superior Clarity

Bleached Shellac is a high-quality, purified form of natural shellac that offers a clear or pale finish, making it perfect for use on light-colored woods and surfaces where color retention is key. This versatile wood finish is prized for its quick-drying, non-toxic, and easily repairable properties.

Key Features:

• Clear Appearance: Unlike standard shellac, it leaves no amber tint—ideal for white or pale finishes.
• Eco-Friendly & Food Safe: Natural, non-toxic resin derived from lac insect secretions.
• Fast Drying: Touch-dry in minutes; recoatable in under an hour.
• Smooth Finish: Enhances grain while preserving natural wood color.
• Multipurpose: Can be used as a sealer, stain-blocker, or final coat.

Best For:

• Light wood like maple, pine, birch, or oak
• French polishing on pale furniture
• Sealing knots and stains
• DIY craft and fine woodworking projects

Application Instructions:

1. Dissolve bleached shellac flakes in denatured alcohol (typically 1:4 ratio).
2. Allow to fully dissolve (8–24 hours depending on flake size).
3. Apply using a brush, cloth, or pad in thin coats.
4. Lightly sand between coats for a flawless finish.

Pro Tip:

Mix only as much as needed. Store in a sealed container and use within a few weeks for best results.
