Product Description

Hand-blended in West Yorkshire & made from a unique blend of waxes, natural abrasives and oils! True grit and True Grit Superfine are abrasive pastes designed to take you finishing to the next level.

True Grit is designed to take your workpiece from 240-grit up to around 1000-grit, whilst reducing airborne dust and leaving you with a silky smooth end product.

True Grit can be used as your final finish or as a stepping stone between sanding and your final wax finish.

As well as a final finish it also works amazingly well to denib and polish a lacquer finish bringing your finished item up to a near-mirror gloss!

True Grit is like liquid sandpaper, reducing scratches left by the initial sanding and eliminating fine dust produced by traditional sanding at higher grades. The grinding powder is designed to break down to a finer mesh as they are used, while still maintaining a cutting edge.

True Grit Superfine is a wax based abrasive paste, made completely of natural and ethicallysourced ingredients, all the way to the tub and labels! Superfine was made and developedwith resin and hybrid users in mind, allowing them to greatly reduce scratches left by theirinitial sanding process.

We recommend sanding to 240 grit, applying our original True GritAbrasive wax paste before then applying True Grit superfine as a final sanding step to leavea smoother, reflective surface.

A huge benefit to the superfine for resin/hybrid users is the incredibly fine dust created frommicromesh pads and high grit sandpaper is eliminated and captured within the wax base.Therefore protecting their lungs from microplastics and reducing the risk of health issues.

Another use of True Grit Superfine as a final process for high gloss lacquer finishes.Designed to denib, buff and enhance any lacquer a woodturner chooses to use leaving analmost mirror like and ultra smooth finish to their work.

How To Use

Sand your item to 240 Grit. We find sanding through the grits, sanding both radially with the lathe running and laterally with the lathe stationary work well to remove any sanding rings.
apply 'standard' True Grit' as per instructions provided
Turn on the lathe and run at around 400-600 rpm. Work in the wax using a paper towel. The Abrasive in the wax will start to break down making your piece smoother whilst trapping the fine dust within the wax.
When you are happy with the finish turn up the speed on your lathe and use a clean piece of paper buff until no residue.
If you wish to apply a top coat, wax finishes can be added directly on top. If wishing to use a non-wax be sure to remove any remaining wax before applying your finish. This can be done with White Spirit or Meths.
Now take a seat and admire your handy work!
