Note:
Stick-lac is the substance in its natural state,
incrusting small twigs. When broken off, and the
coloring matter partly removed, the granular residuum
is called
seed-lac. When melted, and reduced to a
thin crust, it is called
shell-lac or
shellac. Lac
is an important ingredient in sealing wax, dyes,
varnishes, and lacquers.
