Shellac is the most durable (and expensive) primer on the market. It will cover stains and smells that even oil primers canāt. We use it on smoke damaged homes and heavy cigarette smokers houses too. This stuff is absolutely essential in the painting industry. It blocks water stains and wood tannins better than any other primer and also dries the fastest, in about 15 minutes, because it is used with an alcohol base so it evaporates quickly. Super durable and has the highest adhesion on the market. It has also jumped up $50 a gallon from 2022 to now ($80-$130 CAD).

It blows me away that back in the day, people were able to go through processes to figure out how to get to shellac from a bug. Like, what initiated then to think hey, I bet if I do all of these steps in this specific order, I'll get a shiny hard shell. And that goes for a lot of other stuff that we have nowadays. Like chocolate and other items that require a specific item, a certain temperature for a specific amount of time, and this and that and different ingredients, in order to get to the point where you have a whole new product. It's just super interesting to me

Iām a woodworker from FL I use shellac on most of the stuff I build I really appreciate the hard work that goes into making the shellac that I use every day I knew it came from a bug but I had no idea what went into making it now after watching this video I have a much more appreciation for shellac and what the people go through to make it. Thank you

I am a violin maker and I use shellac for the confection of alcohol and oil varnish. This video helped a lot to understand the chain of workers behing these golden flakes. Thank you šš¼
