Clear Coat shellac powder is as light as platina but at a lower cost. The tradeoff is that Clear Coat Powder shellac has some wax and is made by a chemical process that produces a bit more contaminates than the natural process used in producing flaked shellac. The contaminates are easily removed with a paint filter prior to using. The powder produces a clear hard surface that shows the true beauty of your exotic woods.
Detailed mixing instructions along with hints and tips will be included with each order.

Shellac is all-natural. It is non-toxic and is
a resin of insect origin that is harvested regularly and is a completely
renewable resource much like silk.
Shellac flakes are dissolved by denatured ethyl alcohol.
It's very easy to use and an excellent non-toxic choice for
woodworkers. Shellac can be applied with a brush, pad, sprayer, or
wiping cloth. It has a super fast dry time, thus saving money and aggravation.
Shellac is UV - resistant and does not yellow or darken
over time.
Shellac will adhere tenaciously to virtually any surface
and is much less brittle than lacquer and does not scratch as easily. Unlike
toxic polyurethane, a damaged shellac finish can easily be touched up or
renewed by applying another coat. A new coat of shellac melts itself into the
existing coat.
Unlike other types of finish, all types of shellac can be
applied in cold temperatures without concern over proper drying and curing
times.

ever done.
