We use only the finest orange flakes dissolved in 200 proof ethanol for an excellent finish. We use no other additives. Our mix consists of 2.5 lbs. of orange shellac flakes added to 1 gallon of denatured alcohol. This is called a 2 1/2 lb. cut.
Orange shellac is the finishing mainstay of the antique furniture restoration business. Orange shellac imparts a beautiful, rich, warm, orangie brown tone that is absolutly elegant. Unstrained it will leave behind certain particles that are inherent in the shellac making process. Some call it "patina". We believe it makes the finish look more original.
