The high gloss, honey like surface. This laquer is coming to the market in flakes (it is purely natural product) and you have to dissolve it in alcohol. Then you have a basic laquer and you have to add further the alcohol in certain ratio which is called "cut". The flakes have different colours (rubis, lemon...) and you can add dyes. When adding black dye, you get the "black shellac". I do not polish the frames, I just brush it on, sand and then second layer. Very easy and the character fits well with plain air paintings. You can by ready made black shellack as well, but I am not sure where in US.Pavelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163139930299714804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755788805636497951.post-43273323329016267642009-09-26T03:17:24.103+02:002009-09-26T03:17:24.103+02:00Pavel...

Your paintings are wonderful, dramatic, moody and show us what your area looks like beautifully. <br />And thanks for the English translation for those of us who aren't as skilled as you in language. <br />"Black Shellac"? What is that?Marc R. Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859686494237856198noreply@blogger.com
