For those wishing to make your own friction polish, it's old name was "O.B.s Shine Juice". You can find many vids on it. It's equal parts 1/3 shellac, boiled linseed oil, and denatured alcohol.
You're right, anyone can make a friction polish. You couldn't patent the formulation or copyright the use of the term friction polish. The actual patent office phrase is "not obvious to those skilled in the art". Given that I hold 13 other patents, I do know the drill. What is patented is the method of making the microaggregated wax to make an oil/wax/shellac finish without emulsifying agents, just as Minwax patented their method of producing their specific urethane monomer.
Hi Michael, has the Walnut Oil/Carnauba Wax and shellac finish all in one? Where do you get this product? Will this finish be suitable for turned pens? Thanks a lot for any advice.
@@michaelmeredith483 Thanks, I am looking for some way to avoid a lot of fine sanding. I use to sand to 600 grit, then polishing compound, its ok, but could be better

Good job! This really makes sense now!

How do the shellac and wax bond? Whenever i do my own mixtures, i don't get them to bond.
What is the ratio of the three way finish?

Which wax would you use as a top coat?
Anyone can jump in with a answer . Can you use the three way over friction polish ?
Short answer:Yes. HPFP is an excellent sanding sealer and provided a great base for any topcoat finish.
What speed are you running your lathe at?
1000 to 1500 rpm

Yes, all in one. The products are available from Woodcraft and are very good for pens.
Will it work for polishing epoxy after fine sanding? Thanks
It will but you will be better off wet sanding the epoxy to about 7000 and applying no film finish.

Cocobolo sanded to 600 grit !!!! Honestly you could smear peanut butter on that combo and it would still shine like a diamond.
No finish is any better than the surface you put it on, even peanut butter.
I use the 3-way and it's nice.
are you adding carnuva wax first and then shellac
The wax and shellac are both in the finish. High Build Friction Polish has no wax.
awesome products!
this oil make waterproof wood?
The walnut oil will seal the grain and protect the surface but I wouldn't call it waterproof.
thank you for your feedback
have you any natural finishing to suggest to make wood waterproof?
Pretty sure it is resistant though
Dudes fingers is gnarled up proper
Still good enough to do surgery. How about yours?

cocobolo
What store can I buy those polishes at? I can only find them online.
"original patented wax shellac" Anybody can make friction polish. You can't patent something thats common knowledge.
