EEE and Traditional Wax

[Jim Carroll]

Greg you could try using the swansdown mop to generat heat.

Make sure it is loaded up first on another bit of wood as this helps getting heat into the mop before you start on the peice you are working on.

May help with the oil as well to get it burnished into the wood instead of sitting on top.

Heat here is the key factor on boards etc where you dont have the assistance of the lathe and your knuckles to generate heat.

I'll give that a test too, thanks!

I posted two pics last week under "Recent Project" & "Tasmanian Myrtle Coffee Table". I used this method on both projects.

Both EEE and Trad work best over a thin coat of Dewaxed White Shellac or a couple of coats of Shellac based Sanding Sealer. Sand very lightly with 1200 grit to remove any raised grain then use EEE and Traditionsal wax.

Trad is also used as an upkeep wax, applied from time to time or whenever the work piece needs a bit of a lift. This could be monthly, quarterly, every 6 mths or longer. But every time you use it the surface is rejuvenated and will gain a slightly higher and more brilliant glow.
