Don't know the answer to that, Gumby, but I note that in the Handbook, Neil states, "You will probably find many, many more uses for this product". Perhaps I've found one of those.

I've always thought of EEE as a cut-polish; a way of obtaining the ultimate in a smooth finish. But I like the "lustrous and slightly dry shine" achieved with Traditional Wax. As the book says, "it leaves the surface with a sensual feel".

Sorry, Zen, picture changed.

I certainly hope you're right and Gumby's wrong, Don.

I also use it primarily as a cutting compund; just before applying Shellawax on corian or acrylic pens, or after the first coat of Danish on my goblets. As you said, it helps give the baby's-bum finish but without the satin look.

The last thing I want to hear is that there may be a spate of items coming back for refinishing! :eek:

It has certainly brought out the grain on the box, lovely stuff!

Great result Don.
The handle now meets with my approval and you've achieved a great result with the huon grain.

I certainly hope you're right and Gumby's wrong, Don.

Yes Don is right. I believe the primary use of EEE is as a final polishing step after sanding and before applying a finish (ie Shellawax). You can also use it to improve some finishes by using it as a cutting compound.
