{"product_id":"kusmi-1-button-lac","title":"Kusmi #1 Button Lac","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe historically authentic form of shellac. Wax-containing, cottage-produced, period-correct for French polishing and conservation work. From the highest grade our partners select for us each season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost commercial shellac sold today is a 20th-century industrial product — dewaxed, processed by methods that did not exist when classical finishing texts were written. Button lac is what shellac was for most of its working history, including all of the period those texts cover. The buttons are still produced by hand in small cottage operations, weighed and packed one bag at a time. There is no industrial substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMixing notes: see the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/pound-cut-chart\"\u003epound cut chart\u003c\/a\u003e for dry weight per gallon, quart, and pint at the common working cuts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry the Kusmi #1 grade specifically because it comes from the Kusum tree itself and undergoes a hand-refining process that preserves the natural wax structure. The result reads warm honey in alcohol, builds with a few well-laid passes, and rubs out the way the old texts describe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSourced direct from a fifth-generation refining family in India who has supplied this bench since 1990. Pure, uncut, genuine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shellac.net","offers":[{"title":"1 Lb","offer_id":52328554594597,"sku":"SHL-BTN-K1-1LB","price":67.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 Lb","offer_id":52328554627365,"sku":"SHL-BTN-K1-HLF","price":35.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 Lb","offer_id":52328554660133,"sku":"SHL-BTN-K1-QTR","price":19.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/5136\/2853\/files\/kusmi-1-button-lac-hero_b57db720-87fd-4cc1-9d3e-fa0eba289aa4.jpg?v=1779970455","url":"https:\/\/shellac-net.myshopify.com\/products\/kusmi-1-button-lac","provider":"Shellac.net","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
