## Description

Product Description Rust-Oleum Zinsser 304H 1-Quart Bulls Eye Clear Shellac From the Manufacturer Bulls Eye Shellac is an alcohol-based solution of lac, a natural resin. Dries transparent with a faint, golden cast that is much lighter than oil-base varnishes. Offers many advantages over other clear finishes: it's easy to use, dries quickly, is non-toxic when dry and cleans up easily with ammonia and water.

Review: Good shellac. - I love this stuff, easy to work with, gives a nice finish. A little smelly but it clears quickly.
Review: Would repurchase - Had to fix a desk and had to seal in some paint and it works well. Quite durable but does cover it with kinda a bright seal. Takes lingering to dry then what it says. It is clear as in what ever you seal underneath it will show through. Easy to use but does smell to make sure you can somehow have an open window to help with the smell. Otherwise it lingers

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you apply this?**
A: My wife uses foam brushes so she can discard when done since she does not like to deal with oil based clean up. Don't apply too liberally or else it will run/drip.

**Q: Is this interior or exterior ?**
A: I would not use it exterior.  I have used it on furniture and water on the bottom of a glass left a ring.

**Q: About what pound cut is it**
A: It is a 3 lb. cut, not 2 lb. 

While the Technical Data Sheet currently available on the manufacturer's website does not give the cut, an older version found online says it is 3 lb., and I've read this elsewhere as well. I highly doubt this product's formulation has been modified since then.

**Q: Can this be used on a cutting board?**
A: You would be better off with 100% tung oil. Make sure it is 100% to be non-toxic. This is non-toxic, but it sits on the surface and will flake with use. You can also use any other plant oil, like almond, grapeseed, olive, even canola. Just let soak a minute and wipe the excess off.
