What friction polish do you use?

How did the pen look after sanding and before sanding sealer?

Did you follow up the sanding sealer with either 0000 steel wool or 400-600 sandpaper?

The T shirt is fine but while the lathe is turning to you touch the pen lightly and move back and forth without stopping?

Do you follow up with carnauba wax?

Sorry about the link and pic dont know how that happened? Anyway I use Mylands Polish and Sealer. The pen looks smooth in the glare of the light. I put the friction polish right after the sealer dries, no sanding. I apply the polish while the lathe is not running and then turn it on. Put a few drops on my rag and press it into the pen with mild pressure movin it back and forth. Then apply renissance wax. done?

You should be using Mylands cellulose sanding sealer and it takes only a few seconds to dry. You then follow it up with 0000 steel wool or 400 sandpaper. This will smooth out the nibs that rise up when you put on the sealer.

It sounds like you're doing the F.P. correctly but after the first coat, burnish it with either shavings or better yet a piece of brown kraft/packing paper with no wax or dyes. Then put on the thinner coats. Get a soft cloth to buff out the F.P..

Don't waste the renissance wax. That should be used after your pen is finished and you want to put it on display. I use carnauba wax after the F.P. to protect it. run the bar lightly across putting on a thin coat. I use a sweatshirt material and work in the wax at high speed using the rough side and then buff it out with the soft side. I also re-use this rag many times.

Good luck!

Thanks RonZ!  *LINK*
