I visited Stott Park Bobbin Mill today. If you're in the area it's worth an hour or two's time in your itinerary. Fortunately, today was one of the odd times they started up the steam engine to drive some of the machinery. This image caught my eye and I was curious to know what had been in the bottle. I suppose there are less romantic fluids than Shellac Knotting Solution  :D

I like the Tmax-like tones.

Back in the day shellac was applied to knots in wood and lumber to seal them mostly if another finish was going to be applied.

 

Original shellac was made from crushed bugs. The Lac bug if I remember correctly.

Zurück in den Tag wurde Schellack auf Knoten in Holz und Holz aufgetragen, um sie meistens zu versiegeln, wenn ein anderes Finish angewendet werden würde.

 

Original Schellack wurde aus zerkleinerten Bugs gemacht. Der Lac-Bug, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere.

 

Und im hochwertigen Instrumentenbau verarbeitet. (z.B.: Zargen und Böden von Gitarren / hand poliert)
