Shellac as a product is quite misunderstood. Shellacfinishes.com aims at dispelling these many misunderstandings of Shellac. Shellac was widely used as a layered finish for many centuries. However with the introduction of petroleum based finishes in the early 1950’s, shellac’s popularity started to wane. Shellac’s misunderstandings come from other finishing product manufactures as well as from non practicing magazine contributors who get their information from other publications. As a frequent lecturer at Palomar College in San Diego, I get questions from students all the time. I have tried to compile many of them in this FAQ. It is always expanding with time, so be sure to check it time to time.
