Dewaxed Super Blonde Shellac Flake

Dewaxed super blonde shellac flake. Lighter than blonde, warmer than platina — the dewaxed grade most French polishers reach for when working pale stock. Pale enough not to shift wood color, present enough to build a recognizable shellac film.

Dewaxed flake is a 20th-century industrial development — the wax that occurs naturally in the lac is removed through controlled solvent and filtration steps. The result is a shellac that lays down clearer, takes higher topcoats more reliably, and dissolves cleanly without the cloudiness wax-containing grades produce in solution.

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

Super blonde is the working choice for fine furniture, instrument soundboards, and any project where the shellac needs to be invisible in tone but present in build. The most common single grade we ship.

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