    Also keep in mind that there are at least 2 kinds of "the canned stuff". My memory says Sealcoat is dewaxed and a 2 lb. cut. There is also a canned product that has wax in it and is a 3 lb. cut. The stuff with wax in it isn't good for a barrier coat, the wax will prevent other finishes sticking to the shellac. I'm not sure where and why the wax-in stuff is used. I did buy a can of the wax-in stuff and was able to decant to shellac without disturbing the wax layer on the bottom.

    If you're finishing with shellac, it doesn't matter if the naturally occurring wax is left in.

    Non-dewaxed shellac is easier to use IMO.
