STICK SHELLAC - AMBER

For many years shellac was the standard adhesive for woodwind pad installation. Although recent developments in thermoplastic (hot melt) glues, such as our Surduzstik, provide many desirable qualities for pad work, there are still technicians who prefer the working characteristics found with shellac. Likewise, some players discern a more favorable tonal quality as a result of using shellac, and also find a more firm, defined tactile response on key closure provided by the harder shellac over the more pliable thermoplastic adhesives. Made from fine, premium grade shellac. Stick size: 5/16" (8mm) x 5/8" (16mm) x 7" (178mm). Medium amber color for use on tan leather pads.
