Definitely wood polish is not same as shellac. What I know is shellac is a black compound available in plumbing shops normally used for sealing pipes. Prior to proliferation of teflon tape in India, shellac with jute strings used to be used on pipe threads to make them leak proof.

 

Sheenlac is a brand of polish and varnish.

If you have a local pen repair shop, ask them for a small bottle of shellac, they are usually quite good for passing it on. That is how I got mine (in the UK).

I found mine on ebay from an UK seller fairly expensive however it brought back a favourite pen from the grave.

Thanks Manoj.

 

I checked it out in the Automobile store and found what they call as Gasket Shellac. It is dark is color when compared to what is sold online:) Anyways, will try this.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
