WOODTURNERS
These hard sticks of wax are designed solely for the use of woodturners and are made from a special blend of animal, vegetable and mineral waxes including beeswax, Ozokerite and Paraffin. The Woodturners Wax Stick is applied directly to the work whilst it is spinning in the lathe, then with the lathe still running the wax is melted on to the work piece through friction, by applying a clean soft rag to the work and moving it slowly across the face of the turned piece. Use heavy pressure for a satin finish and light pressure for a more lustrous sheen. Second and subsequent coats may be applied if needed. For a high shine apply a coat of shellac or spirit varnish to the turned piece then immediately apply the Woodturners Wax Stick as described above. Woodturners Wax Stick can also be applied over Shellawax our brilliant friction polish, and over Shellawax Cream our revolutionary new friction & buffing polish. Woodturners Wax Stick is NON TOXIC and safe for use on all food implements, bowls, babies rattles etc. However being a wax it will show a dull or white spot if wet. This can be repaired by using our Traditional Wax. FINISHING TIP You will obtain a much better finish on your work if you sand finely. Start with 120 or 180 grit then go though the grits to 400 girt. eg. 180, 220, 280, 320, 400. For an even more brilliant effect sand up to 1200 grit. Both Oak and Elm timbers respond brilliantly to being waxed with Woodturners Wax Stick with no other finish being applied. |
