   Zinsser has a product called seal coat which is a 2# cut of dewaxed shellac. Most of the big box stores carry it.

   Scott - Neither HD and Lowe's around here (Houston) have the Zinnser Seal Coat.

   I buy dewaxed flakes and mix my own.  I generally use one cup of flakes per quart of alcohol.  Do a Google web search on "Shellac Flakes".  http://www.google.com

   I agree mixing your own is better I thought this would give him a place to start. Zinnser claim a three year shelf live to me that sayes they have to add something to the shellac because the stuff I mix only is good for about six month.

   Try http://www.shellac.net

   I've purchased from them, good product and service. They have a sample pack that will give you a broad range of colors for nominal cost.

   I've read that dichromate is a very serious carcinogen. A product like it was the subject matter of the Erin Brakovich movie.
