Hippopotamus Christmas Tree Ornament: Testing Clear Shellac Finish

 My Ornaments

To decide which finish to use, I did some tests. I finished these with clear shellac straight out of the can, applied with a brush. I also dipped three of three hippo ornaments in diluted clear shellac. I did not like the results of the dipped hippos, so brushing on shellac is the way to go.

 

Advantages of Shellac

• Fast drying time: Shellac dries quickly, allowing for multiple coats in a short period and enabling a finish to build up rapidly.
• Ease of application: It is simple to apply, often by wiping or brushing, and forgiving for beginners, with mistakes that can be easily corrected.
• Repairability: Shellac is highly repairable; scratches and damage can be fixed seamlessly without stripping the entire finish.
• Non-toxic and natural: As a natural resin, shellac is non-toxic, making it safe for use on items such as children's toys and food-contact surfaces.
• Beautiful appearance: It provides a gorgeous matte or glossy finish that enhances the wood's grain without blotching.
• Compatibility: Shellac is universally compatible, adhering well to various surfaces and allowing other finishes to be applied over it without issues.
• UV resistance and durability: It offers UV resistance and is suitable for areas with moisture or wear, providing a durable seal.
• Versatility: Available in various colors and forms, shellac can block stains, odors, and knots, making it ideal for a range of woodworking projects.
