Glen,
These finishes don't stand up very well compared to polyurethane or CA dose.

Gives a very quick and shiny finish that looks good. Within a few months of use it’s worn off, go with melamine.

As stated it's not a robust finish. For something you won't be handling every day EEE is ok.

I did when I first started to make pens, looks like shiite after a few days.
Melamine or acrylic lacquer are far longer lasting.

Yes I have the secret with Shellawax is many coats it polymerises then giving a beaut finish,I swear by triple EEE for use before CA and after the chisel on Acrylic (amazing).
