EEE tips

Usually, you have to let it have enough friction to dry out the solvents and heat the wax until it melts into the pores. Not sure of the EEE (that I have not used) but at least with HUT and other waxes that I have used.

looks like it’s an abrasive compound, but cannot tell what finishing product they are using in it (kept it confidential other than hinting to WAX being in there which makes sense as a bond).

for turning wood – I usually end sanding at 320x – and use crystal-coat as the finish (friction curing finish) you could probably use EEE on top of something like that to bring out the shine of the finish after you build it up. you could also try it on the bare wood to remove sanding marks as it’s descriptions suggests but I would be hesitant to sand higher than 320 on wood as it’ll start to close the grain which might interfere with the finish absorbtion.

I’ve had great success with crystal-hut alone and/or buffing it with some beeswax as a final coat.

Edit (added): FYI, for crystal-coat (HUT) I apply a few drops on a cloth and coat the entire part to make it look ‘wet’, then with a good grip to produce friction I buff it while turning – it becomes HOT to the touch, and I just pass it back and forth until it shines – rinse and repeat to build up the finish until satisfied.

I use EEE on my CA finishes as the last step after a full course of MM wet sanding up to 8,000 grit. Wipe on, let it dry a bit and buff off with a cotton rag. Seems to add a bit more of a shine to the CA. I finish the item with a coat of Ren wax.

Hi Lis. I use it all the time. I sand slow and up to 400. then I wipe the part with EEE with a paper towel and then spin the part pretty fast to polish the wood with the EEE. Then I wipe it with Shellawax and polish it fast again and it gets up to about 2000 finish. I have the CD on Shellawax and they tell you that you also clear lacquer a part after using Shellawax. I tried it and it works fine…...............Jim

I normally use EEE Ultra Shine when I polish acrylics; over lacquers and polyurethane. I have used it on turned wood buy only after sanding up to 12,000 grit. It has always given a very high luster to the turned material. I then use a friction wax followed by a light buffing to bring out the shine.
