   Saw an ad, but haven't seenthe product, or the results is produces.

   For those who like a french polished surface, but aren't interested in using archaic and time-consuming methods to achieve them, I've achieved good results with Qualasole - good results the first time out, as a matter of fact.

   FWIW,

   Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.

   I saw it at a woodworking show.  It's not shellac & oil, it's shellac with the normal wax replaced by a special parafin based wax that softens easily from the heat generated by rubbing.  Mineral oil & shellac will not mix.

   This is the way one of the testers described it to me. If it contains a wax, what happens to the wax?

   "The nice thing about it is that once it dries, it leaves nothing on the wood but dewaxed shellac. No wax, no oils, nothing. Hence, you can use it as a wipe on or pad on product, then topcoat it if you choose with any other finish, including polyurethanes and waterbornes"Howie.........

   This is a good question.  My info comes from the Zinsser employee at the show who was demonstrating the project.  Which testers are you referring to, Howard?  I'm interested in knowing if it works as well on large projects as it did on the small pieces of wood they were using at the show.  Can't believe it's all that easy to get a uniform surface on a large area.
