Locally you're on your own. Locally for me would be
Shellac.net

It's at least in the same state for me.

Just about ready to start finishing my 2nd. I am just wondering where everyone gets their shellac flakes. I would prefer to get it locally if at all possible. -Thanks, eric. |

I've done LMI flake, but Micheal Dale Payne recommends Zinsser SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer for French Polish...NOT the normal Shellac that Zinsser sells at the big box stores. I can fint the SealCoat at the big box store around me though. It lasts 3 years from manufacture date due to some mystery preservative. The only drawback is you dont have much control of the color. |

Wow, I am happy to learn that premixed is acceptable. I thought dry was the only way to go. I will have to check around to see if I can get the correct Zinsser product around here. Thanks for the help. I will probably ask for it again soon as this is my first attempt at a french polish.  -Eric |

I get mine from Rockler. Their flakes come in 2oz bags which is great if you don't have a scale. Just add 8oz alcohol for a 2lb cut |

International Violin. Look for shellac flakes, not French polish, which is a process not a product. They sell natural resins too. If you mix your own, it's easy, cheaper, and you know how fresh it is. Pat |

Just reinforcing a crucial distinction----On Zinsser, make sure you buy the SealCoat. It is the dewaxed product. |
