EEE Ultra Shine and Shellawax

EEE Ultra Shine and Shellawax, where do you buy yours from?
Anybody in the UK had it shipped from Timberbits? Just wondering if this is possible?

You can get it from Toolpost in Didcot - not used it but they have the whole range there

I found it good on certain woods Paul, really brought out the grain, but due to not using it that often it solidified, not sure if i could have stopped this happening if i stored it better? Good stuff though .. I got it from Toolpost as Andy mentions above ..

I had to throw out a jar because it got hard. Now I store it in a zip lock plastic bag. It has stayed fresh twice as long as the previous jar.

Somewhere on my computer I have destructions on how to rejuvenate it, I will see if I can dig them out.

I use EEE and shellwax cream on my wooden boxes

If its the glass jar with the metal lid (shellwax cream) going hard -try turning the jar upside when you store it

A quick cut and paste.This works on half a jar that had been sitting on my shelf since 1995 that dried up.

THIS IS A WAX.
WAX MELTS IN EXTREME HEAT
SO KEEP IT COOL!

To fix melted EEE: Put container in hot water to melt contents, when melted stir with non
metal stirrer until mix begins to cool & thicken or the abrasive may drop out of the mix.

To rejuvenate hard EEE: Do the same as above but, add a small amount of mineral turpentine.
(for half a jar add 1 tablespoon, if really dry add 2 tablespoons too much will just make it runny)



My Shellawax Cream has gone hard in the jar. How can I restore it? A/ Stirring it vigorously will bring it back to a creamy consistency. If it is still not thin enough add a little Shellawax (liquid). If you don’t have Shellawax add a LITTLE BIT of Methylated Spirits do not drown the mix and use this only as a LAST RESORT.

Been doing that for years with old furniture polish that splits and goes hard.
Stand it in boiling water till it liquefies, take away from heat source, add a goodly splosh of white spirit and stir while it sets.
Don't see why it shouldn't work for any other waxes.

Get a goodly dollop of ear wax and instead of feeding it to the birds make your own polish with a drop of paint thinners init?

I can just see all of the forum members reaching for their cotton buds and a jar.

I cleared a friends shed out after he died, there was about 20 half empty polish tins from the 60's on a shelf.
Some if not most in tins that had gone rusty, I scraped the contents out and mixed them all in a large coffee jar, did as above and still use it to this day.
It's all only beeswax and turps with maybe a bit of perfume when it's new init?

 

[Moondoggy]

I make beeswax polish myself.

Pure Turpentine
Beeswax (obviously)
Carnauba Wax

No perfume, love the smell as it is.

 

[Grump]

Go on be a devill add a bit of ear wax next time init?

 

[Moondoggy]

I could apply it using a button filled with belly button fluff, eh?
