EM1000 Universal Sanding Sealer

Great base coat.

Brian Dean · Apr 6, 2023

Easy water cleanup of spray guns etc. A thicker consistency and harder surface than the top coats it seems to me. Sprays on easily in a light mottled pattern which prevents fisheyes etc. Very easy to use and seems to adhere decently to shellac bases. Using alcohol and pumice on a buffer you can actually pore fill mahogany or other open pored woods with a swirling motion once dry. The topcoats even more easily so.

Shellac Reducer

No methanol

Does the trick to dissolve my shellac and put on a French polish. Does not contain methanol so health concerns for me are minimal.

Poly-Buf™ Rubbing Compound

Great for shellac and lacquer

Brian Dean · Apr 6, 2023

Puts an amazing shine on anything really. I always do the rubbing out by hand and the results are amazing.

EM6000 Production Acrylic Lacquer

Takes a great shine

Brian Dean · Apr 6, 2023

I find this stuff really easy to apply with my gun, easy of course to clean up. It can take a while to fully cure in the sense that wet sanding can expand the material a bit, which means that it can contract slightly after sanding. But if you're fast and allow it to dry between sandings it's great. I've been applying over the base coat over shellac and had great definition and clarity to the wood grain.

Renaissance Wax Polish

Great

I use this wax to top off a french polish on fine musical instruments. Smooth as silk, clear as a forest stream, easy to rebuff, and one container lasts forever you need so little...

Behkol Solvent

No methanol = great!

Brian Dean · Nov 6, 2018

Love that this is not a terribly poisonous denatured alcohol. I sometimes get it on my skin doing french polish, and methanol is very dangerous for the nervous system, so I'm glad this mixture has none! This is my go-to solvent for shellac flakes and french polish.
