Mylands Studio Button Polish

A more affordable version of Mylands Button Polish, perfect for studios and sets looking to reproduce the antique look of traditional french polishes.

A shellac wood polish with a variety of uses, from finishing antiques and reproduction furniture, to acting as a barrier between two normally incompatible finishes. Produces a warm, dark transparent film, with a unique appearance that cannot be recreated with modern lacquers and finishing techniques.

Similar to French Polish, but has a slightly warmer patina and gives a lighter colour on timbers such as oak. 

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.
