Rubbing Alcohol (Shellac Solvent)

Rubbing Alcohol is a high-purity, fast-evaporating solvent ideal for dissolving shellac flakes and cleaning tools used in oil painting and alcohol ink art. With 99% isopropyl alcohol, it offers excellent solvency and minimal water content, ensuring a smooth, consistent finish.

Because it evaporates rapidly, this solvent is perfect for blending alcohol inks, thinning shellac, and prepping surfaces like glass, plastic, and metal. Artists also use it to clean brushes, palettes, and airbrushes, especially when working with alcohol-based media. Moreover, it’s a reliable choice for removing sticky residues and sanitizing studio tools.

Use with caution in well-ventilated areas, as its high alcohol content is flammable. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. For shellac work, it’s best to mix small batches and store them in airtight containers to preserve potency.

Available in 100ml bottles, this solvent is compact and easy to store. Whether you’re crafting custom shellac finishes or experimenting with alcohol ink techniques, Rubbing Alcohol (Shellac Solvent) is a versatile studio essential.
