Fresh dewaxed (emphasis) is very moisture resistant. It's one of

reasons it's used to coat medicinal pill and confections. Shellac
that contains wax or has esterified becomes less resistance to

What part of "dissolves in alcohol" are you having trouble with?
Alcohol is not "moisture".


I guess it's the part of the quote above that says "it isn't very water
resistant".

Any more questions?
