I checked with our Sherwin Williams and they said they can only get it in the quart also, last year that was the only way I could get it. I did not know it would expire.

Does anyone have a good source for gal- 5 gal buckets of amber shellac? All of our home improvement and paint stores only sell the quart and it gets pretty expensive when you are using it on several...

I'm going to be in the Omaha NE area this week and was wondering if any local haunt owners would be interested in giving a fellow haunt owner a behind the scenes peak at their haunt? Hope it is not...
