Pure Carnauba Wax Micro-Bar for Woodturning

What It Is This is 100% pure carnauba wax cast into a rigid twist-up applicator. It contains zero mineral oil, beeswax, shellac, or chemical solvents. Because pure carnauba is exceptionally brittle, casting it inside a structural plastic housing prevents the wax from shattering when applied to a spinning workpiece.Why You Need It Standard commercial friction polishes utilize a shellac or solvent base that traps moisture and instantly blushes (turns white) when applied to green-turned wood. Pure carnauba provides a glass-like, high-gloss friction finish that remains entirely vapor-permeable, allowing wet wood to dry without degrading the finish.The micro-tube format (0.6" diameter) is specifically designed for small-scale turnings. It allows precise application on pens, finials, and similar projects.How To Use ItSand the workpiece to your final grit. Higher grit = higher shine. Recommended 600-800 minimum.With the lathe spinning at a high RPM, lightly press the exposed wax block against the wood for 1 to 2 seconds. The goal is to deposit a microscopic dust layer of wax, not a heavy coat.Using a handful of clean wood shavings or a heavy cotton cloth, aggressively burnish the spinning workpiece.The mechanical friction heat will instantly melt the wax, driving it into the wood fibers and leaving a cured, high-gloss surface.SpecificationsNet Weight: 0.15 oz (4.25 g)Volume: 4.5 mLIngredients: 100% Pure Carnauba Wax
