![]() Several years ago I bought a bottle of Zinssers French Polish. I know some people reported iffy results with it, but it worked great for me. Naturally, they took it off the market! Behlen's Qualasole and Liberon's Easy French Polish are said to be similar products. I've used Qualasole and liked it, but it didn't give quite the sheen the Zinsser product did. I haven't tried the Liberon. If anyone has, I'd be interested in a post of your results. Thanks. -- This message was for rec.woodworking - if it appears in homeownershub they ripped it off. |

Shellac is usual, lacquer works too. Other than the grade/color of shellac, it matters not who sells it...shellac is shellac. Ditto lacquer. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race? Taxes out of hand? Maybe just ready for a change? Check it out... http://www.floridaloghouse.net |

I've never used waxed, so I don't know if it works, but I was always told dewaxed, and that's what I've used. I only use waxed for jigs and stuff... where it's premade and lasts forever compared to the flakes I mix up. -- Jeff |

And my point got lost by the time you replied. The Zinsser product gave the appearance of French polishing without the work. Obviously, Liberon's "Easy" French polish makes the same claim. I wanted to know from someone who'd used the Liberon product if that claim was valid. -- This message was for rec.woodworking - if it appears in homeownershub they ripped it off. -- This message was for rec.woodworking - if it appears in homeownershub they ripped it off. |
