Jim,
If you find out , tell me. NOT SERIOUS
I am looking for recipes for wax finishes , and some i have found include Shellac, turpentine(natural), Paraffin oil, Ethel alcohol, carnuba wax, bees wax, scented oils.
If anyone has any mixes they use please tell me .

It's a sworn secret known to only a select few wood elves and is passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation.

If you look up a few Luthiers sites, Musical intrument restorers etc, you find a lot of of info on methods, recipes etc. I did it sometime ago but have long since lost the links, come to think of it I sent most of them to Skew.

Original poster doesn't want the recipe, just wants to know what the stuff was that separated out.
Buy some of the U-beaut Shelacs & try them out.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

All Shellawaxes are based on our own specially formulated HARD SHELLAC which is a Dewaxed White Shellac also known as dewaxed bleached shellac. Glow is also based on hardened shellac(s) but if I tell you what type I will have to expunge the memory of everyone who reads this.
If it separates give it a stir and it will readily mix back into the cream.
By the way our Hard Shellac is imported into the US by Luthiers Mercantile for use on guitars and other musical instruments throughout the US.
