Hi,
I've been watching several YouTube videos by Dave Stanton based in Australia. He has some really good ideas, one of which is how he applies wax to achieve a great finish.
He sands to 120/180 and then applies Triple EEE Wax, followed by a sanding with Festool Vlies. The result can be almost like a mirror finish. As far as I understand the Vlies is an abrasive disc but equivalent to 320 and 800 grit - it polishes more than sands. And the Triple EEE also has a mild abrasive nature.
Has anyone tried this in the UK? If so, which wax would be suitable, Triple EEE doesn't look available in the UK, so would Osmo PolyX Wax Oil have the same affect or even Briwax?
The finishing side of things is all new to me, so looking for advice on how to get different finishes for different projects.
I am working one some drawers at the moment with Mango Wood fronts to match a table we already have. I want to finish these to a matt/satin finish - so looking for advice on this as well.
I appreciate this is two different questions, but may was well ask them both at once.
