Shellac is available at most hardware or paint stores in clear or white shellac or orange shellac, which imparts an orange-red tint to natural wood. Other tints derive their color not from dyes or bleaches, but because of the tree to which the lac bug has attached itself-the sap affects the color of the bug secretions thus altering the color of the refined shellac.

refined shellac: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).
