Product details
Description
The Mylands High Build Friction Polish is the global industry standard for woodturners seeking a professional, high-lustre finish in record time. This solvent-based shellac formula is specifically engineered for application on a lathe, where the heat generated by friction cures the polish almost instantaneously.
It is designed to build depth quickly, complementing the natural grain and beauty of various wood species. While it provides a smooth, durable sheen on its own, it excels when applied over a sanding sealer to achieve a brilliant, glass-like high gloss.
Perfect for detailed projects like pens, bowls, and decorative spindles, this polish ensures a hard-wearing surface that resists handling. Whether you are a professional turner or a hobbyist, this imported UK heritage product delivers a consistent, professional-grade finish that protects and preserves your craftsmanship with minimal effort.
How to use
- Sand your workpiece to the desired smoothness and apply a cellulose sanding sealer.
- Once dry, sand the sealer lightly.
- While the wood is turning on the lathe, apply a small amount of Mylands High Build Friction Polish using a lint-free cotton cloth.
- Apply light pressure to generate friction and heat.
- For increased depth, apply multiple coats.
- Optional: Finish with a carnauba wax stick and burnish with a dry cloth for added protection.
