Houn pine picture frame

made this picture frame for a woodwork award i got last year.
experimented with the finishes using shellac, EEE ultra shine and bees wax.

just a question do you use EEE before or after you coat your work with shellac?

Hi Jimmy,

EEE is applied and buffed off after Shellac, before your final waxing with eg Traditional Wax.

cheers

Nice job, mate. It's hard to get miters perfect, and looks like you did!

Well done.

Nice frame Jim. Very good quality joints

Jim, EEE has a cutting compound in it called Tripoli Powder and is therefore meant to cut surfaces back, as Wendy said, before final coating.

That seems to be about the level of a lot of Carbatec knowledge.
