Pumice Stone, Rotten Stone and Felt Blocks

Pumice stone is ideal for finishing and refinishing wood surfaces by removing scratches, blemishes and dents. Use a felt application block (#58271 or 58289) to rub onto the surface. Rotten stone is a finer grit than Pumice stone. Use Rotten stone after Pumice stone to achieve a higher gloss. Can be used with water or a rubbing oil. Water gives a faster cutting action.

1) Submitted by Jim Hamilton, from Lafayette, CO on 1/3/2011 Customer Rating: I've been refinishing the stock on a Remington model #33 .22 rifle that sold for $5.00 in 1932. After putting on 8 coats of boiled linseed oil, I used this rottenstone on the stock, and I am blown away at the final finish I achieved! This old splinter-box of a stock, is now the nicest stock on any rifle I own, it has the older oil finished look of by-gone years. Thanks for your products!

2) Submitted by Michael Nall, from Mobile, AL on 2/10/2010 Customer Rating: I ordered the Felt Block 1'' X 2'' X 4'' Item #58289 to use when finishing my handmade pens and other items on the lathe. It is very hard to find a felt block this size anymore & it does wonders when finishing with the friction polish, it really brings out the shine. I have used the whole system with the pumice & rotten stone & rubbing oil with the felt block on a antique desk that I restored. It was absolutely beautiful when I finished the rubbing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

4) Submitted by Jack Koski, from Hoyt Lakes, MN on 5/10/2009 Customer Rating: My Dad told me how they used to use rotten stone to rub out a finish to perfection when he was in high school shop. I thought I would try it out. Fantastic results. It is well worth the time and effort if you want a perfect, no flaw finish. I'm just sorry I waited 30 years to try it out. Give it a shot. It's well worth it!

5) Submitted by Stephen D. Scotti, from Winston Salem, NC on 3/25/2008 Customer Rating: Not much into wood finishing or furniture maintenance. My mother turned me on to pumice when I saw her using it to touch up her treasured dining room table. It was funny, but she pronounced it (pew - mice). I have a pretty nice oak desk that has travelled around with me over the years and there were a couple of areas that needed to touch up. I ordered some pumice, used the pumice and it looks great again.

6) Submitted by W R Landy/ Custom Guitars, from Long Island, NY on 12/24/2007 Customer Rating: Been building custom guitars for 25 yrs, and I have been shooting my finishes up until a few months ago when I decided to totally switch to Minwax Tung oil. I tried the Pumice and Rotten stone the other day for the 1st time(my Father who's also an avid woodworker has been on me for years to use pumice and rotten stone but my own ignorance stopped me) Well all I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!!!! I will never shoot a finish on anything again. Thanks POPS and Rockler..You have created a monster with these two products. 9 coats of Gloss tung oil/ rubbed out with Rotten Stone and oil (click to see full-size picture in new window)

7) Submitted by Robin, from Yachats, OR on 11/29/2007 Customer Rating: My husband used pumice when he used to refurnish furniture as a hobby (he did beautiful work), generally with a satin poly. He is helping a neighbor who wants to learn and this product is impossible to find on the Oregon coast. Fortunately, we now have some! Great website!

8) Submitted by Scott, from Eden Prairie, MN on 8/25/2006 This is how you get the PROFESSIONAL looking finish. Best used with Lacquer, after it has dried for a week. It can be used with some poly finishes. Just make sure they are cured. This finishing process is more work than others - and the results are worth it.
