Lemon Shellac Flake

Lemon shellac flake. The wax-containing version of our lemon-toned shellac — a yellow-amber flake with the natural lac wax intact. Different from the dewaxed lemon both in working character and in the cured film.

Wax-containing means the natural lac wax has not been removed. The wax is part of the structure, and the cured film carries a warmth that dewaxed grades cannot quite match. Solution will read slightly cloudy in the bottle — that is the wax doing its work.

Mixing notes: see the pound cut chart for dry weight per gallon, quart, and pint at the common working cuts.

Lemon is useful where a yellow-amber tone is right but amber is too much — pale hardwoods that read cool, projects where the finisher wants the wax-containing build with a specific tonal middle.

Sourced direct from a fifth-generation refining family in India who has supplied this bench since 1990. Pure, uncut, genuine.
