    EEE-Ultra Shine and Shellawax

    Hello everyone. I would like to try some new finishes on some bowls I will be finishing in a week or so. I have some EEE-Ultra Shine paste wax and some Shellawax friction polish I hope to try out on these bowls. Has anyone else used these products? Do you have any tips or advice you can offer?

    Thanks in advance.

    EEE Is like liquide sandpaper. use it like that and you should get a nice surface. When the feeling of cutting dissapears crank up the lathe and polish away the wax left over.

    Shellwax is like most FPīs i find it easyer to use, not so prone to make stripes.

    Eugene,
    Both are outstanding products, check over the web site for 'how too's' on each product.

    http://www.ubeaut.com.au/ubhome.htm

    The owner of the business is a turner among other things.

    I use the products almost exclusively and ditto Rasmus's comments. Interestingly if sand down to around 320 or even 600. Then apply EEE the finish will be outstanding . Then apply the Shellawax at high speed, you may if you wish you can actually polish the Shellawax with the EEE .

    The Shellawax will harden further over a few weeks to the point where you can drink alcohol out of a goblet done up with the Shellawax.

    For those who may have missed the point, EEE or triple-E, is a substitute for Tripoli (buffing compound). Recommended.

    Bear in mind that if the target is bowls/platters you need Shellawax Cream. The liquid dries out too fast.
