Hi all, was wondering if anyone has used this product?

If so, how did it work out and how do you use it?

Thanks.

All the best!

What are you looking to use it for?

I've used it and it worked OK. Depends on what you want to do? It's a pretty aggressive abrasive as a paste in it's own liquid medium. You can quickly cut through a thin finish if you're not careful.

My prefernce for wet sanding is to use dry polishing flours mixed with my oil finish, or possibly boiled linseed oil, as the lubricant. So, I've substituted Brownell's dry pumice for the 3F and dry rottenstone for the final polishing. Actually, I've even moved away from the pumice; too much chance of cutting trough and I don't want to go there. I have much better control using 600 paper to flatten and dull the finish prior to adjusting the lustre with rottenstone/oil.

Thanks guys. This was reommended to me, but I don't want to screw up the finish, so maybe I'll leave well enough alone.

Thanks again!

I've used it with very good results. If you want to rub down a newly finished stock, you should try to wait at least 2 months before rubbing it down as the abrasives can be too aggressive until the finish hardens thoroughly. It can be very usful in rubbing out scratches in an oil finish before recoating.

The other option is to use auto body rubbing compounds. Very high quality and more selection in terms of grits available

I have used it with great success. Frequently I cut it with Parafin Oil (which is also a great agent for wet sanding with very fine grit paper; 1000 & up) Using the 3F after wet sanding with the 1500 grit produces a beautiful satin luster.

I've used the 3f paste and I like it--on the right finish. Too built up and it isn't fine enough and appears as a haze on the surface--but on the right finish it's coarse enough that it doesn't give you a really high shine the way some of the automotive compounds do. For something just a tad more than the "in the wood" look it adds depth and luster to my eye and looks pretty similar to real oil.
