BEST FINISH FOR EPOXY PENS

  EMAIL FROM BOB 7th Feb 23 I need to know what the best thing is to polish and finish acrylic such as pens please. Thanks Bob My response: 7th Feb 23 Hello Robert I have had nothing to do with acrylic but have had great reports about EEE-Ultra Shine and Aussie Oil being used over epoxy on pens, bowls, platters, etc. Our finishes are initially designed as friction polish for use on wood and not over epoxy or other plastic finishes.

WAX OVER AUSSIE OIL

  Email from Jim Can you or should you have to put a wax over Aussie Oil on items that will be handled often.    Thanks Jim _______________ My response Hello Jim Definitely not. Waxes are easily damaged with water, alcohol, heat, handling, etc. For anything that will be used constantly apply 3 coats of Aussie Oil or more if you wish. First application is basically burned into the wood and fine for decorative work that will just be looked at not under constant handling. However as that first...
