Looking for feedback on Aussie Oil friction polish? I see it listed in the new Penn State catalog?
Thanks

I'm new to penturning (and the IAP), but I've used aussie oil for general purposes plenty (it's been out a while here in Australia). One of my favourite finishes for turning, or for small pieces which aren't round.
It needs a bit of elbow grease if you're using it off the lathe (not a worry for pens), but that's the only negative I can think of. I'm sure it won't be as durable as a CA finish for pens, but I haven't noticed durability issues with it in general.
It's very, very fast to apply on the lathe, and a little goes a long way - will be especially true for pens.
Just curious... How long have you had a finished pen/other turning with this finish applied?

SHELLAWAX GLOW friction polish
says Shellawax Glow is not available for export from Australia.
Anybody know if that is true or not true, and if not true, where to buy it in Nth America
Their website shows eleven distributors here in the U.S.Why do you say it's not shipped to this country?
Looks like two different products. Shella wax is available in the US but not Shella Wax Glow.
Did you ever try that? I'd be interested to know how using both products turned out.I have aussie oil and its ok. Not exceptional but ok. I may need to CA coat the next pen after using aussie oil and see how it looks.
