I have some shellac flakes that I bought from shellacfinishes.com a couple of years ago and I wasn't sure that they were still good or whether to buy new flakes. One package said "check dissolution after Feb 2019" and the other said " check dissolution after Oct 2019".
Made a 2 lb cut (4 ounces in 16 fluid ounces of ethanol). The solutions were really dark and not transparent but all of the flakes seemed to dissolve.

I didn't have gelatinous and he saidIf the following is true, then it's NOT good to go.
1) small gelatinous masses floating in the solution.
2) All the flakes have not completely dissolved.
You are good to go. The flakes are still good.
