I use a lot of shellac in finishing. I trust this brand, as it has always been excellent quality. I usually mix this with blonde shellac to make a sander/sealer and color coat under precat lacquer.

I do custom woodworking on commission. I frequently use shellac as a sealer. This is high quality shellac and is my preferred brand.

The product is good, but had an issue with Amazon’s delivery. They left the package in the sun causing the flakes to melt together. Manufacturer’s customer service was stellar and made everything right, can’t say enough good things about them. If you order, make sure and request inside delivery or something to protect the package from overheating in a delivery truck or direct sun.

Looks like a good buy. Packaged in a strong plastic hermetically sealed and resealable bag.Have not mixed any with alcohol yet but will shortly and update. Nice to have it so I can mix just what I will use. The off the shelf stuff is great but it's shelf life is not forever and the lid of the can really get clogged up and hard to reseal. This will bypass that as I will only mix what I need.

Tl;dr I used this as a sanding sealer. Amber not recommended as a final coat.Full review:I made a 2# cut with denatured alcohol in a mason jar. Without a stir plate it wouldn't fully dissolve over night, but after adding the stir bar on the second batch I left it over night and got it fully dissolved. If you don't fully dissolve it, just use a paint strainer and transfer to another jar, or else you'll get tiny flakes on your coat. I diluted to 1# cut with more denatured alcohol and foam-brushed on birch plywood. You can see that it's quite dark and leaves lines where it overlaps. I would not suggest using this for final finish. The dark amber is too dark and difficult to get even coverage. I painted over it with cabinet enamel paint and got a great finish. My process was 1# cut shellac (I think .7 to .8 lb/gal cut is ideal), 2 light coats of paint, then 220 grit sanding, 320 grit sanding, final coat of paint.

Shellac is simply the best wood (or other things) finish ever and this is the best Shellac I’ve yet found. Non-toxic (Edible actually: it’s the coating on M&M’s) dries in seconds. Almost as Durable as all the treble and toxic finishes that take days to cure. And you can use it as a universal primer. If it wasn’t a non-patentable naturally occurring substance it would have been heralded as the greatest invention of the 20th century... Just saying. I’m currently shellacking everything in my house...now let’s see where did that pesky chihuahua go to...
