Colaka (Shellac) is a completely harmless animal resin, produced by female coleoptera that secrete it as a protective substance on the branches of trees inhabiting the forests of Indonesia.
It is a material with great durability, odorlessness, and is characterized by excellent brightness and softness to the touch.
It acts as a waterproof insulator, with natural pigments and wax, while it also has natural protection against UV solar radiation, so it does not discolor and does not darken over time.
In hagiography it is suitable to close the pores of the surface we want to gold. After it dries well, we pass mixion and then the gold leaves.
Also we can use it as a final varnish only one hand.
Ruby lacquer in flakes (also referred to as scales or scales) is the best quality of lacquer free of wax, ideal for the most natural, glossy and transparent varnishing on wood surfaces with the French method, the well-known varnishing using ball.
Dilution : Indicative ratio is 40gr laced with 100gr of pure alcohol of 95 degrees. Mix the ingredients and stir continuously for a few minutes.
Attention: The 100gr of pure alcohol is not 100ml but roughly is about ~80ml (depends on the specific weight, the alcoholic degree and the temperature)
After dilution, leave for 24 hours so that it dissolves properly.
We carefully filter for any insoluble residues and our varnish is ready for use.
The process is easy and fast.
