A long shot I know, and the way my luck’s been running recently I’m definitely not building my hopes up!
I wondered if any fellow Mastodonians might possibly have a couple of 78rpm record sleeves like this stored away and they’re willing to part with them? It’s the sleeves I’m after really, not the records. If you have any, could you possibly let me know as I’m more than willing to buy them. Thank you!

Bon, hier j'ai eu le bonheur d'aller voir Mono à Helsinki, dernière date en Europe. Ils ont joué le dernier album "Oath" en intégralité + 2 rappels, "Ashes in the Snow" et "Everlasting Light". Avant le concert, la sono a diffusé un live de Shellac et ils ont dédicacé le dernier morceau à Steve Albini, j'en ai presque chialé 😢
Beau concert, ça me manque ici, il n'y a pas autant de concerts qu'en France.

I read that you can extend the shelf life by lowering the temperature and humidity the flakes are exposed to, so the plan was to seal portions with silica gel in vacuum-sealed packs, store the packets in an airtight glass jar, and store the jar in the refrigerator.

Two years have passed and the flakes from that batch still completely dissolve in alcohol in just two hours, as if they were freshly harvested 🥳.

Shellac is sold in flakes to dissolve or in a ready-made solution with alcohol. In both cases it has a limited storage time of one to two years. In the case of flakes, what happens is that it polymerizes and then no longer dissolves in alcohol.

It already happened to me with a batch of flakes that were left unused for two years. With the next batch I bought, I set out to prevent the same thing from happening to me again.

Shellac is my favorite finish for wood. Some reasons for this are:

- It is of biological origin, since it is obtained from the secretion of an insect from Southeast Asia.

- It can be diluted in ethyl alcohol, a relatively safe solvent also of biological origin.

- It is not toxic, it is even an authorized food additive under code E904.

- Easy to apply and repair locally if it gets scratched.

- Biodegradable in reasonable times.

We’ve collected 78’s for years, but this is something else! Just under 4 days to go, and “Midnight, The Stars And You” has hit £2000 and is still rising. If you’re curious, it’s the closing theme from “The Shining” starring Jack Nicholson. Played at the end of the film when he appears in an old B&W photo.
