70The Process of Applying Wood Filler
In order to prevent this change of shade, a wash consisting of a very thin coat of shellac is frequently put over the stain to hold it in place and prevent the "lifting" of the color.

Another process is to dissolve the gum in some alkali and pass a stream of chlorine gas into the mixture to bleach the shellac, which is then melted under water and pulled when soft.
