Hi all

Just watched this Video and was curious as to what finish is being used.

Looking at the colour and consistency it's a friction polish but she mixed it from two bottles and the finish she got looked more like a CA finish to friction polish.

It's seen at about 5 minutes 50 seconds


Anyone know what she is using

Thanks

Paul

Another very interesting video, she kept well clear of the bushes I noticed šŸ˜Ž
As to the finish, possibly some form of resin? I have been using a wipe on poly which you can add a hardener to, but that was a very quick gloss finish almost like a friction polish.... I'm intrigued nowšŸ¤”šŸ¤”

It certainly looks like friction polish, and it definitely behaves like friction polish. Possibly shellac dissolved in some kind of alcohol in one bottle, and beeswax dissolved in something like ethanol in the other. Although why it isn't already mixed in one bottle is intriguing - unless it's just a little gimmick for the camera.
