If one of the intervening states was a superpower, a civil war is a further 72% longer; a conflict such as the Angolan Civil War, in which there is two-sided foreign intervention, including by a superpower (actually, two superpowers in the case of Angola), would be 538% longer on average than a civil war without any international intervention.
Shellac is a wood finishing product made by dissolving dried resin in denatured alcohol. Shellac was used heavily for finishing furniture during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it is still available for use today. The product is popular due to its ease of application, low odor, and all-natural origin.
Confectionerâs glaze, the name often used for shellac by candy makers, is composed of approximately 35% shellac (purified lac resin). The rest are volatile organic compounds which evaporate off during manufacture.: Shellac is a coating or glaze derived from the hardened, resinous material secreted by the lac insect, much like honey from a bee. Shellac in its raw form, known as âlac resin,â along with lac wax and lac dye, is produced in Southeast Asia.
