It is processed and sold as dry flakes, which are dissolved in denatured alcohol to make liquid shellac, which is used as a brush-on colorant and wood finish much like a combination of stain and polyurethane (poly-ur-a-thane). Shellac functions as a tough all-natural primer, sanding sealer, odor-blocker, stain, and high-gloss varnish.

How to Learn to Write by Reading
It is the ultimate goal of every author to engage with and captivate their audience, and spin out masterpieces, like those by William Shakespeare; George R.R. Martin; J.K.
