Hi guys, Totally irreverant post to a very interesting thread, just read it all and once again marvel at the amount of knowledge out there just waiting to be tapped... Just wanted to say... Wasn't it Rigsby, Noel? They don't write 'em like that anymore! Sorry to interupt an interesting topic!

Woody Couple of suggestions... I assume you've discounted the idea of removing the wax mechanically? Those big floor sanders can be very effective. I can't help but think your search may well be in vain, sorry. An alternative would be to get along to a car body shop suppliers and get a...

Hi All... thanks Steve :oops: One of our customers uses our Melamine Lacquer on martial arts equipment and has been pleased with the results although this would be more than we would expect the product to withstand so whilst you're welcome to try this it wouldn't be an 'official'...

Hi Jim Thanks for checking it out for us, I've been waiting for my Dad to get back to me about it and he agrees with you that it probably won't fit, which is a great shame. Both of us really appreciate your kind offer and the effort you've put into this but reckon it's not worth the further...

Hi Jim Just wondering if you had a chance to check out the sliding switch on your Handyman...? All the best Terry

Curiously, the product to which you refer is usually called a Bar Top Lacquer! It used to be formulated to dry quickly so that a coat could be put on when the pub closed at lunch and be dry before the pub opened in the evening! Now that pubs are open all day I guess this isn't such an issue and...

Hi Jim That's a very kind offer, thank you very much. I'm just trying to check out whether it will have the part we need as I don't want to put you to the trouble of sending it only to find it doesn't! I'm having to do this with my Dad so it's taking a little bit of time. I hate to lower the...

Hi All I don't normally post in this part of the forum, but I hope you won't hold that against me! My Dad is heartbroken. Over the Christmas break he was helping me with some woodwork (which usually involves him doing it and not letting me join in!) and his beloved Yankee Screwdriver broke...

Hi Gents Thanks Mike for answering while we were closed, you're right in everything you say so I hadn't worried about adding to it. However, answering an email that came in over night made me think about this again... The answer to the original question is available on our website, but I'm...

It wasn't on our site, sorry. I was just thinking our site hasn't been updated for a while... Maybe tomorrow...

Probably because there's no money in it for them. Listed above are several drawbcks with taking the machine off the container and delivering it straight to the customer; speed-reading the comments so far I get the idea it won't perform as it should so some conversion might be required. This...

lol Mind you, I'm the first to say that our instructions both verbal and printed should be treated more as guidelines. We've often found that people find their own, personal favourite method of using our products which is fine by us. There's nothing I hate more than seeing people in print...

And there's us agonising over the wording on such things!

Hi Gary To a large extent, yes. Any of our sealers can be used with the wax then sanded where possible. The wax is very quick drying and only needs about 30 seconds to dry before polishing. Some waxes are based on different solvents and need longer and some will say that even ours benefits...

Hi Andy You're welcome. Just to clarify something here, many of our products have been tested to EN71 for use on toys. These tests were carried out at an independent laboratory at some expense. The test covers the material as a dried film, the state it should be in when given to a child. Our...

Hi Andy First off, the oil is fine for the candle holders. The oil should only be flammable whilst wet; once dry the danger is much less. The oil will burn as a dry film in the same way that most paints and varnishes will (I'm not about to get into flame retardent paints and Class 1 Surface...

Hi Gary I'm not an expert on finishing burrs so if I make any mistakes in this post I hope someone will dive in and correct me... The wax idea shouldn't necessarily be discounted straight away. Careful application should prevent too much of a build up and if you polish the wax using a firm...

Hi Tony Thanks for sticking with us; next time it could be you at a Craft Fair waxing lyrical about the virtues of our products to someone who hasn't used them before, the reverse of the situation you encountered! The subject of sample packs is an interesting one, we only do those in our...

Hi I agree with the above, white spirit should do the job although it's likely to be messy and time consuming. I think Liberon make a Wax Remover which should be more efficient but will probably need to be handled with care. The two products should be compatible but the only way to know is to...

Hmmm... do I or don't I? .... Okay, I will... Hi Tony I think the simple answer is that it is a case of horses for courses. It's one of those questions where you could ask a dozen different people and get a dozen different answers. As I've said elsewhere, much as we'd love to dominate the...
