This product is commonly used on pale natural timbers, such as oak, beech, maple, ash and sycamore and gives a beautiful high gloss finish. It gives a softer finish than other polishes, and so should not be used for dining table tops or high durability areas. It is suitable for panelling bookcases, ornamental furniture and chairs.
White polish has a hazy white appearance in the liquid form but dries to a clear film.
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.
