Email from: Tom 29thDec 2022 First off... I love your products and have been using the Shella wax for several years. I have researched all of your literature and can't find an answer to my problem. The problem is, my bottle of wax has lost it's liquid and I have to scrape the wax out to use it. How can I thin the wax in the bottle so I don't have to throw it away and start again? Any help you can provide this old guy? Thanks,...
Email from Billy 4th Jan 23 A full bottle of shellawax froze due to extreme cold temperature in my garage. What can I do to salvage it. Or is it still usable. Thanks My response: 4th Jan 23 Hi Billy Wow that's a first for me. When it's thawed out, shake it up well and it should be fine. Must have been really cold as it normally doesn't freeze due to the high alcohol content. If there is a likelihood more of deep freeze conditions,...
Email from: Brett 6th Jan 23 Hello , I am going to buy your set of water based dyes , and I am looking at your sanding sealer. This is for a guitar application that I am looking to use Nitrocellulose as the final finish. Will the U-Beat sanding sealer be ok with Nitrocellulose over the top ? (I'm planning to use Aqua Coats water based grain filler also during the process for the sides , back and neck of the guitar)...
Email from: Donna 10 Jan 23 Hi there, I have just bought an old Australian Cedar chest of drawers that needs to be revived. It has scuff marks and a few tiny flecks of white paint on the surface. Is your Polish Reviver product good for this? My response: 10 Jan 23 Hello Donna Can't guarantee it but Polish Reviver is your best bet. If it doesn't do what you want there will be nothing else on the market that will. The white paint will most...
Email from James 27 Sept 22 Sorry if this has been answered 100 times before. The EEE cream does an amazing job but still needs a final finish. The Glow sais to use on raw timber only. Can I use EEE followed by Glow? is there a special procedure for this? My results are varied. Cheers James My response: 27 Sept 22 Hello James I presume you are talking about woodturned items. EEE was designed to be used as the final abrasive before using any of our friction...
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. However, in the past I have...
Email from Steve 10 Feb 23 I love your wood dyes but you need a clean purple, i am working on rainbow colours staining pine, you have all the primary colours except purple . You should develop this in your range to be able to make a proper rainbow colours. The colour needs to clean colour like your blue but the purple equivalent. My response: Hello Steve Yeah, sorry, but we had purple for about 8 years and almost all users said it was the...
Email from Bill 12 Feb 23 I have made a sign that is part wood (pine) and part epoxy resin. I brought a jar of EEE-ultra shine which worked well in shining up both the wood and resin. However when it got wet, it lost all its shine and was rough to touch. I applied the wax as per the instructions on the jar Can you recommend a product to use, either instead of EEE-ultra shine or with EEE-ultra shine. Bill My response 12 Feb 23 Hello...
Email from Madhav 15 Feb 23 Hi, I bought a container each of your EEE ultra shine and your Shellawax cream. Both were stored closed in a dark cool place. The Ultra shine is ok, but the Shellawax cream has hardened tot he point that it is inaudible. What did I do wrong? Does the cream have a shelf life? How can I reconstitute it? My first response (Madhavs replies are in red) 15 Feb 23 Hello Madhav A question or few first. Where in...
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...
