    For everyone worrying, it's purified and refined and processed before it ends up in food. Complaining about the handling of it is like complaining that a miner handled your salt, or that a farmer touched the cane that was turned into your sugar.

    This is no joke. I’ve been using shellac, for, close to 60 yrs, having finished woodworking projects, in summer camp.
    I’ve been a wood worker , partially because of that experience. I , then worked for years re-finishing the surface coats, w/shellac.

      Pine tar, turpentine and linseed oil, with a bit of shellac flakes.... makes a great wood treatment where you want that harder high-gloss look. The tar, turf, and linseed does the coloring and preserving, while the shellac gives you that hard shiny finish on top. Great combo, and loved by the nautical types for eons.

    The number of lac bugs required to produce 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of shellac has variously been estimated between 50,000 and 300,000. The root word lakh is a unit in the Indian numbering system for 100,000 and presumably refers to the huge numbers of insects that swarm on host trees, up to 150 per square inch (23/cm2).

    Shellac is renewable, non toxic, and if your furniture gets scratched you can add more. Alcohol redissolves what’s there so more becomes one coat with the original.
    Polyurethanes are plastic. Scratch easily, but you have to sand it all off and make more microplastics. It’s made from crude oil.
    Use shellac.

      Polyurethanes certainly do not scratch easy, they are one of the most durable surface finishes you could have as far as painting goes. And especially if mixed with hardener. Marks and scratches can easily be rubbed or polished out, deep scratches are physical damage and it is much easier to refinish poly panel than do all that stuff with alcohol you mentioned. And no you dont have to sand it all off to reapply, why would you, fix the damage rub it down and apply again. Actually, you can easily blend it in without recoating entire surface. One of the easiest paints/clear coats I have ever worked with and produces lovely finishes. Some folk respray their off road vehicles with 2k poly paints, indestructable and look great without clear coat.
      However, they are very bad for your health while in application stage, even worse when mixed with hardener, that goes for both solvent and water based polys. Better be using airfed mask if spraying, ordinary respirators even the highest grades aren't good enough, that goes for all 2k paints.
      Shellac, as you said is non toxic and renewable and those two attributes are a huge positives (worker and environment), but as far as durability goes there is no comparison between the two.

      The ol' French finish. Looks great. Until you put something damp or hot onto it. but unfortunately shallac has a limited function not really consistent with my everyday needs. nobody really knows how long modern finishes will actually really last. But considering we are still scraping and refinishing old stuff that has shellac. I think modern finishes are still going to be superior in 100+ years. Because we can just scrape and finish then too... But at least in the meantime you can put a cold waterbottle on the surface without ruining it.

    They used to press records on shellac. During WW2 vinyl was restricted for military use (making tents, clothing, medical supplies for the troops etc) so record companies needed an alternative. Shellac records are interesting because they’re harder to break than standard vinyl records. If I remember correctly, record pressing plants would use a styrofoam center piece to server as the “base” of the record that would then be coated in shellac and then pressed into a proper disc.

    Shelllack thinned using mentholated spirits becomes a type of natural primer. We use it in the plaster trade to make plaster less absorbant. You need to put a few thin layers on plaster bases to prime them for running removable molds on top, and you also have to use it as a primer before gilding plaster pieces with gold leaf. It’s very useful for plasterers.

    I use it to restore antique fountain pens (which is the period correct method of "gluing" parts together non-permanently c1890-1960). The only problem with shellac is that it cannot be stored forever; max shelf life is about 4 years and then it loses most of its properties. Also, it turns to liquid under high temperatures -- even sitting in direct, hot sun can start to liquefy it under the right conditions.

    Cochineal carmine is a red pigment that comes from an insect also. It’s in some of the red dyes some candies are coated in. It’s also called cochineal extract, cochineal lake, natural red 4, and E120.

That is why they are doing this so-called job with the bare minimum and have no one to help them. Pls stop thinking like a moron and do your research. In fact, let this be your first lesson. You are literally watching slavery in your lifetime. Please be a voice for the voiceless and not add to their unjust treatment.

    Im Jamaican, so I mostly clicked to see why ackee was controversial. This entire vid was fun. Ackee isn't really seen as dangerous out here because it's pretty easy to know when the ackee is ready. The pods are closed when unripe. As they start to open, the seeds look brown. That means it's not ready. It's ready when the pod is open all the way and the seeds are black not brown. Cleaning them can be a bit tedious but it's so worth it when picked, cleaned, cooked and eaten the same day.
