UBeaut Shellawax Cream

Shellawax cream is a one application friction for woodworkers. It can be used on a lathe on carving works and on flat surfaces. 

How it is used 

1. Turn or carve, the piece.

2. Sand piece to 400 grit for start, but it is recommended that you sand to 1200 grit to achieve a better finish. 

The finer you sand the glossier the finish will be. 

 3. Use a clean soft rag to evenly apply a thin coat of the Shellawax Cream to the          piece




Shellawax Cream is of yellow colour but does not have any effect of the colour of the finish

4. Turn the lathe on and with same rag used to apply the light coat apply a  heavy pressure to the work, moving the rag over the piece.

The pressure melts the finish and burns it in to the work  leaving brightly shining 

Shellawax cream is a very easy finish to use on a lathe, on small surfaces such as boxes it can also be used on larger surfaces. It can only be used on raw timber.  As it is a friction polish it melts in to the wood and does not feel sticky or tacky to touch. The finish that is left is a very shiny, the shine can be dulled, this can be done by letting the wax dry when you first apply it to the work.   It can be used by any wood-worker. When compared to regular shellawax and glow it is quite thick this is the reason it is more suted to use on bowls and larger pieces, this is because it will not dry before you get to the other side of the object. All U' Beaut polishes have a saying "polish with a gimmick... it works" and so far so good
