White Shellac - what does it look like in raw form?

5 years ago

Hi,


I live in a country where we don't have special things like Zinsser and other shellac primers.


I went to buy shellac flakes so I can mix up my own shellac to seal pine before painting in white. I do'nt want the tannin bleed through.


I found this at the local market, they told me this is white shellac. But it's not in that flake form as I know to be the raw version of it....See photo attached. It looks like little twigs.


Does anyone know if this is really white shellac or what is this?


AND, if its not. Can I used blonde shellac flakes to seal the tannins and knots on my raw wood kitchen before priming then white chalk painting them? Will that work or will a yellow or orange colored shellac also bleed through the white paint?
