Traditional Wax is a general purpose wax paste made from a unique blend of animal, vegetable and mineral waxes including Carnauba (the hardest of all waxes) to give both a hard bright shine and durability.
The wax is applied to the work with the lathe running which causes friction and heat, once applied, a soft clean rag is then used to buff the wax across the workpiece.
Heavy pressure should be applied for a satin finish and light pressure for a more lustrous sheen, with additional coats be applied if needed. For a high shine apply a coat of shellac or spirit varnish to the turned piece then immediately apply the Waxtik as described above.
The Waxtik can be applied over Shellawax and Shellawax Cream friction polishes, and also works extremely well over EEE-Ultra Shine for a fully waxed finish. It can also be used over most oil finishes that respond to a final buffing with hard wax including Organoil and Danish oil.
It is NON TOXIC and totally safe for use on all food implements, bowls, babies rattles etc. However being a wax it may show a dull or white spot if wet, which can be repaired by using our Traditional Wax.
