About this deal

Product Description

Rustins French Polish is made from pure shellac and alcohol with a special additive included to facilitate sanding when dry. Suitable for french polishing all dark and light coloured woods, when a light to medium brown tone is required, also suitable for sealing wood before waxing. When applied correctly it will produce a high gloss finish. Alcohol evaporates rapidly leaving a film of shellac on the surface of the timber. Apply as many coats as required to build a sufficient layer of shellac.

    Good stuff. Used to be one of my favourite hobbies polishing one off.

    French or Polish? Needs clarifying.

    If you fancy breaking your neck, then yes.

    Be aware, there is a good reason that "French Polisher" used to be, and probably still is, a specific career - it's bloomin hard to get right! I've tried it once on a small job, well actually about ten times if you count the number of times I wiped it off and started again! In the end I said sod it - and it actually did look quite good so maybe I was being perfectionist, but it wasn't quite perfect and so I finished it with a coat of high quality gloss wax polish. If you fancy having fun trying, and it is quite fun because you can easily wipe off a poor attempt with methylated spirit, then have a dabble but I wouldn't attempt to finish anything of value with it, at least not without a lot more practice.

    I've watched a professional build up the layers of French Polish (of a Pullman carriage interior door as it happens) and was astounded by the amount of elbow grease required. There is no alternative than shear hard physical work, which would have been even harder of course had he not been a professional.
