I noticed Zinsser started using date codes instead of dates. I emailed for an explanation of the code. Here's the response:
Thank you for your recent e-mail.
We apologize for the delay in this response but your e-mail was not properly routed by our system.
The batch code on the shellac should always be a 6- or 7 digit number, beginning with a letter. For example: S01231D
The first number after the letter will be the last digit in the year of manufacture
The second character will correspond to the month; O, N or D for October, November or December, otherwise the single number for the month.
The third and fourth numbers will relate to the actual day of the month.
In this case a batch code reading S01231D will have been made in the year 2010, in the month of January, on the 23rd day.
The Bullseye Shellac will have a shelf life of three years.
Sincerely,
