Blond Shellak in flakes (de-waxed), sun extra bright, and resin-free. They are used on metal leafs to protect them from stains and oxidization. Gilders use Blond Shellac on top of the gesso (gesso is a mixture of Rabbit Skin Glue and Whiting) before applying the gilding size to prevent the gilding size from mixing with the gesso. They also use Shellac directly on the applied metal leafwith various techniques, preserving it from possible subsequent oxidations. Shellac is a classic sealer for artists who want to finish off their artwork to a professional level.
