The tampon (with respect to French polishing) is a wad of wool surrounded by a tough exterior. I\'ve used linen which is what Frank uses and had good success. Take a wad of wool about the size of a small egg and surround it with some linen. Draw the linen tight and twist it. I have several, one I use for the smoothing phase (which I\'ll discuss in a minute) and one for the bodying phase. Once you make these, don\'t throw them out. They are good as long as the linen doesn\'t wear through. An old pair of wool socks makes a very good interior material. I store the tampons in a pickle jar with a little alcohol in the bottom. You\'ll also need some mineral oil, some 2 1/2 pound cut shellac, some 4F pumice, and Shellac solvent (I like Behlens since it has other stuff in it other than Methanol--remember all wood alcohol will destroy your optic nerve). I wear a pair of rubber gloves. I\'m a hot sauce addict, I find the perfect thing to put these fluids in is a Durkee 12 oz hot sauce bottle. You have to add very small amounts of the shellac, mineral oil, and alcohol to the tampon and these are great for that task due to the shaker type top (which is removable by the way). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-18 18:58:35 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- **** Another instructive web site : http://mmd.foxtail.com/Archives/Digests/200202/2002.02.16.07... French Polishing and Padding the Finish By Craig Brougher There are as many different ways of applying a finish with a pad as there are products to use. I have, for years, polished this way. To my mind, \"French polishing\" refers to the final steps to the finish, whereas padding refers to the intermediate steps to the final finish. A French polish is actually a final finish in itself, but I suppose there were finishers who would rottenstone and oil that finish also. |
