15 August 2021

Shellac, a natural resin secreted by the lac bug, has been used for centuries to create stunning finishes. Its unique properties make it an ideal choice for woodworkers, artists, and DIY enthusiasts.
Shellac is prized for its high gloss and depth of color, which enhance the natural beauty of wood. It is also an eco-friendly option, being biodegradable and sustainable. Harvesting shellac supports millions of families in rural India and Thailand, contributing to their livelihood.
Using shellac is straightforward. It can be dissolved in alcohol to create a liquid finish, applied with a brush or cloth. It dries quickly, allowing for multiple coats in a short time, and its clarity preserves the wood’s natural grain.
Choose shellac for your next project to experience its unmatched beauty and environmental benefits.
