Rustins Button Polish - 125ml

Its primary purpose is to provide a traditional French polish finish with an orange or golden hue, and to seal wood effectively before applying a wax finish.

The coverage is approximately 13-15m² per litre, meaning a 125ml tin will cover roughly 1.6 to 1.9m² depending on application thickness and wood porosity.

Yes, it can be used on most types of wood, but preparation is key, especially for open-grained woods.

Apply multiple thin, even coats using a rubbing motion, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly. Gentle buffing after the final coat can enhance the sheen.

Yes, as it is alcohol-based, good ventilation is essential during application and drying to dissipate fumes and aid evaporation.

It is best applied to bare, prepared wood. Applying over existing finishes may lead to incompatibility issues. It is primarily for sealing before waxing.

Tools and applicators should be cleaned immediately after use with methylated spirits or another suitable solvent.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free of dust. Apply in thin, even coats with consistent pressure. Avoid stopping and starting within a single stroke. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Check humidity levels; high humidity can slow drying. Ensure coats are not applied too thickly. Verify that the product has not expired or been contaminated.

The surface may not be smooth enough, or insufficient coats have been applied. Ensure the final coat is applied with care and appropriate buffing. Make sure to seal the wood properly before waxing if a wax finish is applied afterwards.

This is often caused by moisture or solvent trapped in the finish, typically due to high humidity or applying coats too quickly. Allow longer drying times in a well-ventilated area.
