UBEAUT EEE or traditional wax?
Hi all - just putting the finishing touches on my hall table. It is made from recycled aust mahogany and finished with 3 coats of tung oil at the moment.
I have sanded back to 800 grit (or was it 1200) before oiling and then I lightly rubbed each coat of oil back before applying the next.
The tung oil finish is nice, but I am keen to wax over the top of it to give it a little more shine. Clearly, the best products for this would be UBEAUT EEE wax or traditional wax! ( shameless plug I know).
Which of these products is best for this kind of job?
Cheers

Trad. Wax would be the go.
Triple E isn't really a finish in it's own right, although it has some wax in it. It's like a cutting compound which you can use on raw timber before finishing (usually on the lathe with Shellawax) or over other finishes to give them a more silky-satin look/feel. Not sure if it would improve an oil finish, someone else might know. There's a fact sheet for both products on the UBeaut web site."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Hi FD
Not sure if it is 100% tung oil. I too had some trouble finding pure stuff. I ended up getting this at bunnings - I think it is intergrain or interwood or somethign like that. I'll try to remember to check it tonight.
