Rustins 500Ml French Polish | R230003
The Rustins French Polish is made from flake shellac dissolved in alcohol. It is suitable for French Polishing all dark and light coloured woods, when a light to medium brown tone is required and also for sealing wood before waxing. When applied correctly, it will produce a high gloss finish. The alcohol evaporates rapidly, leaving a film of shellac on the surface of the timber. For French Polishing, apply as many coats as required to build a sufficient layer of shellac. For sealing wood before waxing, apply 2 liberal coats. Clean equipment whilst wet with Rustins Methylated Spirits.
- Preparation
Wood should be clean and smooth. If grain is open, fill with Rustins Grain Filler. Furniture that is to be renovated should be cleaned with White Spirit and fine wire wool to ensure that it is free from grease and wax. - Application
Apply with a rubber made by wrapping a piece of cotton wool in a cotton or linen rag the size of a handkerchief. Pour polish into rubber and squeeze out excess, dab a spot of linseed oil on the rubber, and work in a circle of eight motion.
