fast wax finish for the wood lathe

These hard wax sticks have been specially developed for use on the wood lathe and consist of a special mix of animal, vegetable and mineral waxes including Carnauba (the hardest wax) for high gloss and durability, Ozokerite and Ceresine wax (with a high melting point). for extra hardness, shine and water resistance, Microcrystalline wax for durability and water resistance and finally a touch of beeswax for a pleasant touch.

Waxtik is applied directly to the workpiece while the lathe is running and then, as with Shellawax products, it is melted by generating frictional heat by slowly working the surface with a polishing cloth. A firm pressure gives a satin-like shine, while a light pressure gives a higher shine. If desired, several layers can be applied directly on top of each other.

Waxtik can of course also be applied over the various Shellawax products and also directly over EEE-Ultrashine for fully waxed workpieces. In addition, Waxtik can be used over most oils such as Houtolie and Danish oil, provided the oil is well dried and no more fresh oil sweats from the pores.

For a fast, high shine, first apply a layer of Shellawax or oil to the workpiece, after which you immediately apply the Waxtik as described above.

Waxtik is food safe, but because it is a wax finish, white or dull spots may appear after contact with water. These spots can be repaired with the Traditional wax if necessary.

Shellawax products give the best results on woods with a dense, fine structure. Waxtik, on the other hand, appears to give the best results on open woods such as oak.
