This is a rich, medium brown coloured polish which is commonly used on darker timbers such as walnut, oak and mahogany. French polish produces a warm, dark transparent coating which cannot be reproduced by modern synthetic lacquers.
Mylands Shellac Polishes
Although French polish is the general term for all types of Shellac Polish, it is also a Shellac Polish colour in its own right.
Mylands' range contains many blends of Shellac Polish which have been developed over the years to fulfil various different requirements – some of which are slightly modified products for a specific purpose.
They come in various depths of colour, which give the French Polisher latitude to choose the most appropriate product for the timber being polished.
Shellac products have a variety of uses from finishing antiques and reproduction furniture to acting as a non-reactive barrier between two normally incompatible finishes. They are particularly useful when refurbishing furniture as they will seal in any wax product which may have been applied to the furniture in the past.
Drying Time
Touch dry in approximately 15 minutes and denibbable for recoating in approximately 30 minutes at 20°C.
Coverage
The coverage of these products is variable and is dependant on various factors, such as porosity of timber, application method, etc.
