    Thumbs up EEE's BACK - By popular demand.

    EEE
    is back on the label again


    Seems we freaked out too many people by dropping the EEE from our labels and just calling it Ultra Shine.
    Not only that but people were convinced we'd changed the formula and that it had all gone down the gurgler.


    WRONG.... The only thing to change was the wording on the label.

    Well it's back and it's here to stay.
    Don't care if it makes sense or not to non Aussies.

    Bit like Vegemite really - Us Aussies get it, the rest of the world doesn't
    .

    AND NOW IT'S...




    AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'LL STAY!

    Speaking of EEE-Ultra Shine

    I currently have for sale a number
    of 5 litre industrial size tins.

    Price per tin is $220 incl gst

    That's a massive saving of $176
    Work it out....
    20 x 250 ml jars = 5 litres
    at $19.80 a jar = $396.00


    As a rule these are only available by special order as we don't keep
    them on the shelf. However a double order and a bit of a mix up on
    behalf of a couple of schools who both ordered EEE instead of
    Traditional Wax, has left us with a number of them sitting here waiting
    to be sold to the first ones in with the money.

    Good way to buy for a school, club, business or share among your
    mates to save a few dollars.

    To order: send an email to [email protected] or phone:
    03 5221 8775 between 10am & 4pm Monday to Friday
    outside those hours you can leave a message.


    Cheers - Neil

    Tripoli - It's the abrasive powder used in the wax to make it cut and polish so finely.

    Tripoli stone is a friable abrasive, which means it keeps breaking into smaller and smaller pieces that continue to sand the surface you are working. Effectively this means it works up through the grit grades naturally, until it turns into dust.As described by Cruzi in this thread

    The Tripoli used is called AFC (air float cream) which will give you an idea just how fine it is.

    I invested in 4 x bottles of EEE in the hope that they'd increase in value looks like I'll have to use them now.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    I still haven't finished the bottle I bought in May 2002 yet.

    It is nearly finished & I will be getting some more.

    I've used rottenstone in the past, but I've never tried EEE. It sounds excellent. What do most people here use it for - bowls, pens or funiture?

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    I use it as the last thing before waxing with Trad wax when I do a shellac and wax finish and as the final step when I use Danish Oil.
    But the best way to find out how to use it is to invest $30 and buy the bible (Polisher's Handbook) from UBeaut.
    All is revealed therein and everything that I have done when follwoing Neil's advice to the letter has worked out fine (when I do my own thing, I can guarantee less than perfect results - so now I just re-read what Neil has to say and do that)

    Think of it as rottenstone in a wax paste medium.


    I use it for:
    • Almost everything on the lathe.
    • As the final sand for large flat areas where I want a high gloss finish.
    • As a cutting compound for large flat areas where the the finish is too glossy and I want to matte it back a bit.


    (I go through a fair bit of the stuff. Quick 'n easy to apply with good, uniform & repeatable results. Gives a professional finish with a layman's skills... what more could one ask? )
