Someone once told me that you can buff out fuller- plast to a satin or high gloss finish. I'm think that they said to use car wax. Is anyone familiar with doing this?

Thanks,
Darren

I spray with Krystal, which is a catalyzed varnish finish very similar to Fullerplast. It will buff out well to a gloss finish.

I have a buffing wheel set up though, so haven't tried it by hand. Not sure how much success you would have with that.

A flat finish buffed to a gloss won't be quite as hard, nor quite as glossy as if you used a true gloss finish to start with though.

I buff by hand my Fullerplast with powdered Pumice or Rottenstone with a  Wet cotton cloth will do the job
Aim down your arrow because thats where it's going.

Get yourself a can of Dupont polishing compound  at your auto parts store. If the finish is really rough use buffing compound first.

Isn't that Crystal fantastic? Dries really fast over oily wood and can recoat anytime.

I'm not familiar with Crystal?  Is it a two part varnish?  A website where I could look up it's properties?
