Liberon Polish
« on: February 11, 2018, 10:17:48 AM »
Hi everyone, this is my first post here - hoping someone can help.

I have for some years had a tin of Liberon Woodturners polish - it is nearly empty and I suspect Liberon have discontinued it (can't find anything on their website, their contact form fails to work and every time I think about it it's out of office hours so I can phone - like now). :'(

I have tried loads of other finishes, friction polish, melamine, CA but I rather like the Liberon product as it seals and polishes in one and is much better polished off the lathe (my preference). It also dries on matt so you can easily see the application - it's waterproof too!

So after all that, the question is does anyone know where I can get it or is there a similar product out there or even worse does anyone have a recipe that would do the same thing?

Thanks in advance

Jon

is this what you are after?
www.amazon.co.uk/Liberon-WLP250-250ml-Turners-Polish/dp/B002UOGCJM
....I'm fairly certain it's been discontinued....the link takes one to an Amazon  page which states that it is unavailable.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

It is nothing more than the standard Wood Turners Friction Polish, Chestnut, Fiddes and several other companies sell it.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

Thanks guys, woodcraft supplies it is then!

It is different from other friction polishes, I have several others that are awful on flatwork - this stuff is great on turned and flatwork- probably of no help to anyone as I am likely going to get the last tin!

Your help is appreciated
Cheers
