Revainrating 5 out of 5

The hobby finisher has nothing to complain about, I can only recommend it.

The goods arrived well crumbled in a bag. I didn't have to process the flakes at all before mixing them with alcohol (1lb per pint of DNA which I ordered from Quality Chemical at Revain). Dissolved quickly, but still waited all day. After filtering through cheesecloth I found there were still 3 or 4 tiny grains of dirt left. I'd say it was pretty clean shellac. French polish them (beginners). It's so clear that at first it was a bit difficult to judge how well I was applying it. When freshโ€ฆ

High-quality shellac flakes

High-quality shellac flakes, very clean, without any foreign substances. Dissolves well in multiple cuts. I use Everclear for dissolving food (expensive) and then denatured alcohol for projects where no food contact is expected (cheaper). The finish is almost translucent with a very faint yellow tint that goes well with more modern designs where the reddish tint may not be ideal, it shows off the grain well and creates a lasting finish. It can be sanded to 240 grit or higher for an ultra-smooth

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • There are some nuances

*UPDATE April 2021* I don't know if this is due to the disruption to supply chains caused by Covid but I have had to adjust the star rating for this shellac from full stars to one. Because of one bad batch, all my work was completely ruined and I had to start all over again. In fact, I lost my job for the whole season because I was way behind. In my innocence, I wrote off the bad batch as an accident, ordered more, and suffered a little more. The new batch was ruined too. Problems always showed

Pros
