Description

A high quality timber polish, similar to shellac but with greater resistance to wear and temperature. A superb French polish, preferred by professionals for superior clarity and durability. Water-resistant, but alcohol-soluble. For interior use on fine furniture, musical instruments, cabinets, etc. Contains seedlac, tree resin and spirit of wine.

Preparation

Old coatings must be removed.

Let harden for four hours between coats, and cut back with very fine steel wool or sandpaper before recoating. After final coat, leave for 24 hours, then wax with BIO ANTIQUE WAX Provide adequate ventilation during application and drying. Do not apply during cold and damp conditions.

Cleaning

Methylated spirit
