Product Description

Our best-selling Gloss Finishing Wax is a carefully designed combination of carnauba and microcrystalline waxes suspended in a low odour solvent to enable you to build up a super-tough glossy finish to turned work that is also fingerprint-resistant and Food & Toy Safe when cured.

It has a stiff texture and may appear’ crumbly’ in the tin at times (particularly in cold weather). This is perfectly normal due to the very high wax-to-solvent ratio. When used correctly, you need less of the product than you may think to achieve a fantastic quality finish.

Uses

Use for the finishing of decorative and functional wood-turned items on a lathe. It can also be used on ‘flat’ woodwork using a polishing mop to buff.

~ Colour and Aroma

Creamy yellow in the tin. Characteristic aroma of solvents and waxes.

~ Container

They are supplied in a lacquer lined tin with 130g of product inside.

~ Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, ideally between 10° and 30°C (50° and 90°F) Where possible. Protect from extreme heat and freezing. Keep out of direct sunlight.

~ Longevity – Use By

Kept according to instructions, you can expect the product to last around two years from opening, depending on how often it is used.

~ Food Contact and Toy Safe?

Yes. Tested to EN71-3.

By AndrewRoss on 23rd August 2020

"Great product for the woodturner. "

By jbarrywatsonblueyondercouk on 26th July 2020

"Ordered High Gloss Hampshire Sheen. What arrived was a different tin to the photo on the advert. This one said food and toy safe gloss finishing wax (not HIGH gloss). Emailed a query to Yandles as to whether this is the same product or not but the email went unanswered so sadly none the wiser. Have used the wax and gives a nice finish but not the high gloss I expected."

By colinroberts on 21st April 2020

"This polish is awesome I cant believe the shine I got it was almost as shiny as lacquer spray I will certainly be getting some more when I need it "

By IfanGJones on 7th April 2019

"Very good product, I wanted a polish for my wood turning work and this has proved ideal."

By Simon on 17th June 2018

"Tried this (together with Yorkshire grit) on a few bowls in place of my normal carnuba/beeswax sticks. Brilliant finish, quick and easy to achieve. Unfortunately, a recipient of two bowls accidentally splashed them with a few drops of water - ruined the finish in seconds. I compared effect of splashes of water on Hampshire sheen verses my normal finish. Hampshire sheen MUCH more susceptible to damage!"

By tommy black on 6th October 2017

"excellent product, gives really high shine to woodturning items well prepared item is a must, i.e. sanding/sanding sealer highly recommended"
