I'm sure most of you guys do some woodwork too, want to pass this along. Replacing some rotten pine siding and went to open a small pint can of maybe 2 year old Shellac to seal a few knots before priming the wood. Pryed off the lid and it went off like a shotgun. The lid hit my hand so hard it cut a small gash, and that "stuff" went every where. I'm amazed the can and lid held that much pressure. Temperatures were 60 last nite, 78 today. Can was in the garage on a shelf in the dark. So glad I had my glasses on. Never thought I would need them to open a can of paint. And the Shellac was still good I guess, not hard.
"Shellac is generally made from two ingredients, raw seed lac and ethyl alcohol." Made from bugs, hmmm.
