All-natural Bulls Eye Shellac has many of the great performance characteristics of today’s synthetic clear finishes: In an age of fast-drying products, few finishes dry as fast as shellac. Shellac is user-friendly and virtually goof-proof. It can be applied with a brush, pad, sprayer, or wiping cloth. No elaborate instructions are needed, good results are almost guaranteed, and mistakes are easily corrected. In spite of all the wonders of 21st century clear finish chemistry, there is still no other finish that enhances the depth and natural beauty of wood grain like shellac. Wood that has been finished with shellac looks soft and natural, not plastic-coated. The finish will not yellow or darken with age like polyurethanes, and it’s simple to maintain. In a time when more and more consumers prefer finishes that clean up with soap and water, shellac brushes can be cleaned in all-purpose household detergents or household ammonia and warm water.

D ue to its exceptional sealing and adhesion properties, shellac has many other applications. A very thin mixture of shellac and alcohol can be used to condition soft woods such as pine and fire before staining them for a uniform and blotch-free appearance; shellac can be tinted with universal colorants to create an ultra-dark, fast-drying primer for interior walls and trim. Tinted shellac can also be mixed with tinted     B-I-N Primer-Sealer to produce an infinite variety of intermediate colors and shades. (For more information, see Decorating with Tinted Shellac). Shellac will stick to almost any glossy, hard-to-paint surface and is the only coating in the world that will effectively block wood knots and sap streaks, preventing then from bleeding into the finish paint

Some of the other exceptional performance properties of shellac include:

• Cold temperature application – Unlike other finishes shellac can be applied in cold temperatures (40^o F. and below) without concern over proper drying and curing.
• Non-toxic/hypoallergenic – Dry shellac is certified by the Food and Drug Administration as a protective glaze for candy and pharmaceuticals.
• Non-yellowing/non-darkening – Shellac is UV resistant and will not yellow or darken with age – unlike oil-base finishes.
• Dried film is impervious to odors – Two or more coats of shellac will seal in any kind of odor in any type of porous surface.
