Easy to apply, Hampshire Sheen Microcrystalline Wax buffs to a soft wax sheen. Originally formulated for woodturners by a keen woodturner, this wax is equally effective on carvings and metal objects. It is popular with wood and pen turners as an overcoat to their final finish. Use sparingly, apply with a soft lint-free cloth, buff with a clean cloth or microfibre cloth, on shaped or intricate pieces use a soft brush. When dry, the hard crystalline structure of the wax forms a protective barrier resistant to fingerprints and water splashes. Microcrystalline wax has a higher melting point than other waxes used in polish formulations, which is partly the reason for its long lasting, extra protection. Microcrystalline wax ensures decorative wooden pieces are as protected as possible from normal handling. It is both food contact and toy safe and is equally effective for a multitude of other applications, including the cleaning and protection of leather, antiques and other valuable items. (It is advisable to test an inconspicuous area first.) Supplied in a 130g tin.
