It is made from denatured alcohol and shellac flakes. Shellac is made from the resin produced by the Lac beetle. The denatured alcohol dissolves the shellac into a useable liquid. By mixing the shellac flakes with the denatured alcohol, you can decide the viscosity yourself. Most of the shellac you purchase in a store contains chemicals and is quite thin in consistency.
