    Default Pom in Perth

    Hello everyone, I've joined this forum because I have some specific questions on ubeaut products and finishing a York gum burl coffee table I've been working on, so hope to learn from the pros

    Actually I'll quickly ask here to see if I can get a quick answer:

    I've sanded, sealed, stained and Tung oiled (2x coats) the table and I really love the way it looks. If I can add a mega shiny and consistent satin shine to it I would be really happy.

    Can I just pop some of the EEE ultrashine on top of what I've done to add that sparkle to it? Or would I end up butchering it somehow?

    Thanks guys.

    Welcome aboad.

    EEE is an abrasive, not a finish. Find usage here

    "Mega shiny" and "satin shine" are not words that usually go together.

    "Mega shiny" usually refers to a gloss or "high reflectivity from all angles" which most oils don't generate and once oiled its difficult to put other stuff over the top.

    If you mean "mega smooth" then this does go together with "satin shine" and the more you sand and oil the surface with finer and finer paper the smoother and satiny it will become plus it will develop some reflection property at low angles. Try applying and rubbing the oil in with wet and dry paper of every increasing fineness and eventually you should see it start to reflect.
