is eee ultra shine food safe?
BEST ANSWER: I consulted the back of the package. It lists that one of the ingredients is an irritant if inhaled. I would say not food grade safe. I use this product on my wooden pen barrels. It produces an incredible shine.

How is it best applied, by buffing wheel and what size wheel suggested?
BEST ANSWER: I use it to add a lustrous finish to wooden pens. I apply it with a small piece of folded paper towel to the wood segment with the lathe turned off so it doesn't spatter me or the wall behind the lathe. Take care not to get it onto metal bushings! The pumice in the EEE, which does such a nice job 'finishing' the wood, also grinds the bushings into black grit which on light colored pens or more porous dark wood pens leaves a dark ring at the ends of the wood segments. After you've applied it to the wood, turn on the lathe and with a small piece of paper towel, wipe off any EEE that may have accidentally gotten onto the bushings until the paper towel stays clean with the lathe running. Using a clean piece of paper towel, running the lathe fairly fast, rub the EEE into the wood. When it is reflecting light and gleaming, you've done your part. Then just to add a sparkle, I turn the lathe to the highest speed and buff it with another clean paper towel. I have known some to use cardboard to burnish the wood at this stage while the lathe is running fast. You can also use a buffing wheel, if you have one set up. On pens, the diameter of the wheel doesn't matter. If you've already assembled the pen, use a clean wheel. The jeweler's rouge may take the finish off your metal pen parts. Just be careful not to overheat the wood at any stage in this process; it may expand enough to 'pop' off the brass tube in your pen. To give it more protection and to keep the lustrous finish, I usually finish it with Shellawax or Crystal Coat polish.

I'm trying to finish a buffalo horn knife handle with a mother of pearl inlay. Would this be recommended for finishing? Would it be safe or even work on buffalo horn?
BEST ANSWER: I have only used EEE Ultra Shine once. It was on red cedar. I was very happy with the results. It seems to have a fine abrasive in it. As you probably know cedar is soft. I think it would work well on the horn, but I would sure want to try it on a scrap mother of pearl first.

Do you need a lathe to use this or can you buff it on by hand?
BEST ANSWER: A lathe is almost indispensable, but a flat surface like a table from my experience can be done with a wool buffer or a buffer with a throwaway COTTON pad. Any other will melt from heat except the wool The cotton can be used and thrown away. Good luck and try using some 800 or 1600 grit paper first very lightly.

EEE Ultra Shine is the best...
EEE Ultra Shine is the best for removing the last of those small scratches and sanding marks on turned items. It's a must have when turning hard woods like Ebony and Kingwood. Sand to 400 grit and use this stuff, apply your finish and admire the results. Use it alone and the finish will be to the satin side. It seems to darken lighter woods like maple and cherry just a bit.

Wonder wax
This is a wonderful product. It contains just enough grit to finish the sanding job while putting a wonderful coating of wax on whatever wood product you are making.

Great friction polish
EEE is a great rubbing compound type friction polish for all wood turning. It goes on great on raw wood or over a wood sealer. Topped off with shellawax it makes a great high gloss finish.
