1. Lac is workable once it’s melted into a chewing gum texture, it can become very elastic.

2. The melting temperate is quite low, it's about 100 degrees. It can easily be reached with a heat gun, infra red radiator or a stove.

3. Lac is very sticky! therefore you will need a metal surface as your table top. Still is the most recommend metal, it can absorb the heat and the lac will never stick to it. Do not use aluminium, for some reason the lac sticks to aluminium surfaces.
