This table top polish is very durable, being manufactured from a mix of shellac powder and melamine. Transparent in appearance, this tabletop polish is easy to apply, combining a traditional shellac finish with that extra degree of durability. Sand the wood in, working with the grain where possible. Start with a medium grade sandpaper (120 Grit), and finish with a medium to fine grade (180 - 220 Grit). Ensure all areas to be coated are free from grease and blemishes prior to application.
