Super Blonde shellac flakes are nearly colourless de-waxed shellac used to replicate classical polishing formulations for antique furniture and musical instruments like guitar and pianos. De-waxed Super Blonde shellac is also used to enhance faded wood, finish curly, quilted and figured woods. It is used on bland woods such as maple to give a beautiful light blonde finish. They retain the clarity of light coloured woods and is also used on lightly coloured woods such as white oak, cherry, hickory, maple, beech and some exotic woods. They give a high gloss finish resistant to UV light which doesn?t darken over time. Dewaxed Super Blonde Shellac and Blonde Shellac provides very little colour and is often applied over darker shellac coats to prevent a finish from being too dark.
