Liberon Woodturner’s Lathe Polish

250ml

Liberon Woodworker's Lathe Polish is a high gloss, shellac based friction polish designed to use whilst the wood is turning on the Lathe,  apply the polish with a Safety Cloth (not included)  The polish seals and finishes the turned woodwork in one easy step.

Liberon Woodturner's lathe polish is a friction polish that gives a great high gloss finish, ideal for spindle and small diameter items. The final finish will only be as good as the prepared surface, so the wood needs to be sanded near perfect, because a high gloss finish will just magnify any marks and scratches. I would recommend sanding down to 600 grit or use Liberon 0000 wire wool.  Friction polish requires heat to make a smooth finish, this heat is generated from pressure and friction, high speed is not necessary as long as there is enough pressure  and the friction caused generates heat. To use; Apply some polish to a safety cloth, less polish on the cloth is better than more, apply the polish in a thin coat, then apply the next coat as the first coat dries, then repeat the process as required to build up a layer of coats. If excess polish has been applied, then ridges in the finish can occur and adding more polish is not the answer, remove the ridges by putting some methylated spirits on a safety cloth and apply this to the wood, the meth’s will soften the polish and allow the polish will flow smoothly over the wood.

Large size cloths approx 12 ½" x 13 ½"

Applying finishes, waxes or buffing on a lathe has always been a good way to get a great finish. However, with normal cloths, there is always the danger that some threads get caught in the chuck and trapping your fingers or hand, this could and does happen,  this can mean the loss of a finger or even worse, as a woodturner myself I know from experence how easily it can happen.

These safety cloths have the characteristics of a fine buffing cloth, but are especially made to tear very easily should it get entangled in the chuck or other moving parts, therefore reducing the risk of entrapping fingers. Use the cloth to apply dyes, waxes and other finishes or to simply buff the wood while it's still turning on the lathe. It’s just not worth the risk to use normal cotton cloths, as you only need a accident to happen once.

 Spirit based  Quick drying  Penetrates deep into wood  All colours can be mixed - useful for repairs and blending

Can be thinned with methylated spirits  (not cellulose thinners) for a delicate wash effect.

Not suitable for use with Polyurethane varnish

Spirit dyes have the advantage of being drying quickly, which makes it excellent for repair and touch-up work on floors, wood trim, furniture and antique repairs etc. These spirit dyes do not raise the grain of the wood as a rule, or not to the same extent as a water based dye. For Woodturning, these spirit dyes are excellent, but their use should be limited to smaller pieces or for selected areas, because of the rapid evaporation of the alcohol spirit, the dye is quickly absorb into the wood and covering a large area can therefore be tricky as overlap marks can often result, in this case a Liberon Palette water based Acrylic dye would be a better choice

I use these earth pigments myself for woodturning to add a hint of colour, simply mix some earth pigment with Shellac sanding sealer and apply as normal with a cloth, rub down with 0000 wire wool, then wipe with a tack cloth before applying your final finish.  

As a Woodturner and Antiques restorer,  I have used more than a few tins of wax over the years and I have tried most (if not all) other brands of wax, and I have found nothing to be as good as the Liberon Black Bison Wax range,  Why?   I could say because the wax is easy to apply and it gives an excellent finish, or that the wax drys quicker than most, does not dry up hard in the tin like many,  or even that it offers good value for money, it does all these things and more. ....but I also use it because I like the smell.

Liberon Black Bison Fine Paste Wax is ideal for nourishing and protecting all types of wood, including lacquers and French polishes. Black Bison is well known for its quality and distinctive, pleasant smell. It is traditionally used on antiques but is also suitable for use on modern furniture and will enhance the natural beauty of wood whilst protecting it against dryness.
