EEE cream gums up
Hello,
I am new in this forum and I thought I would pose a question to the experts in here. What is the best way to apply EEE? I've done it with the lathe on, and off and when I go to buff it out it just gums up and takes alot to get it buffed out. When it finally does buff out it is beautiful.
I read here alot but usually don't have much to say. Hopefully that will change.

EEE is not a finish but a polishing paste that cuts finer and finer as it is rubbed in.
You must finish with a clean cloth to remove the remaining EEE and then finish off with something like shellwax.

I usually spin it on wet and keep moving untill it shines.

As Dvid says, but you may also be putting on too much. It only needs a fine coat, not heaps.

Eee
What I mean by gums up is that it gets like big blobs and then it really is very hard to buff out. I have used it on small projects like Christmas ornaments and it comes out great, Ifollow EEE with a friction Myland friction polish and it does great! I think that I probably am using too much so I will try to cut back and see how it works. thanks for the replies.

HI It definitely sound like your using too much. I just wipe a thin smear on then buff it with the same cloth, lathe running flat out. Never had a problem, a little goes a long way with this stuff.'
