Friction Polish.
Typical uses: High gloss finish usually used on the lathe although it can be applied off the lathe Method of application Either by holding a moistened pad against work revolving on the lathe or continued rubbing off the lathe Drying time The friction caused by application means that the polish dries immediately Coverage Virtually impossible to calculate due to the nature of application Compatibility Can be used on bare wood or over any of the Chestnut Products’ Sanding Sealers.
