Mixing And Testing Shellac - Episode 208

Working on another project and I want a finish that isn't wax or oil. Shellac seems the obvious choice but does take a lot of work.

I mix my own Shellac, which this video shows how I do this. I then use some test wood that is the same as the wood used in my project to test how Shellac goes on and finishes off.

1) great video, lots of good info. 2) I was listening to this video while cooking dinner, it felt like I was being taught by Albus Dumbledoor!!

Nice on Paul, nice finish, though i have been using wipe on poly, though i can't seem to find it here in the UK so i make my own 50% white spirit and 50% polyurethane varnish gloss or satin, drys quickly and gives a great finish

Crush the shellac flakes first and they dissolve a lot faster!

Thanks for the video. Is there some other retarder that one can use to slow the drying process ?

Hi Paul, could you use this shellac as a sanding sealer ?

Hi Paul.... great video....I was trying to find a finish that wasn't too expensive....the bullseye shellac is £60.00 plus per tin...too much for me...check out my video...Andy paramore luberon special pale French polish....its quick and easy....All the
