Probably not. I've got some stuff I mixed up from raw flakes that's
at
least 40% wax. The bullseye stuff is probably made up from something
along
the same general line. I wouldn't say this means they are ripping
you off
on purpose. Just that if you want dewaxed shellac, don't buy their
regular
waxy stuff and expect to decant a useful quantity of it.
According to their label their regular stuff is dewaxed. I've never
seen any Bulls-eye NON-DE-waxed shellac on the shelves.
But as many have noted, mixing your own is the way to go.
Shellac is best used when fresh.
