Review: Good - As described by the seller, quality is great , works wonderfully, polishes well, easy to use,highly recommended Review: Excellent result for beginner with raw wood start - I wanted to make a new arm board for my turntable, so I started with 30x8 cm in newly cut American Walnut. I have never tried French Polish before, so was a bit uneasy, but it was not very difficult, once you get it sorted out. I used Bio Ethanol to clean, mix and rub down when required, and very fine pumice to fill the grain. My method was: 1. Sand with fine sand paper. I think I used 1000 grain to get it smooth. 2. Fill grain with pumice and ethanol rub. Did this twice about 12 hour apart. 3. Mixed French Polish about 50/50 with ethanol and washed on with a ‘rubber’. Waited 12 hours and repeated. 4. Next day, sanded lightly and applied the first buildup coat. Rubbed in small circles an used a drop of olive oil as a lubricant. If you have too much oil, it looks good but dries unevenly. If you have not enough the rubber sticks and leaves smears. If this happen don’t leave it. You might rub it away, or you might need to take it off with alcohol. 5. Leave to dry for 6-8 hours. Sand with very fine paper, say 2000-3000 grade. Wipe clean and apply again. I applied about 6-7 coats over three days. 6. Sand very lightly. I then mixed ethanol with the French Polish again about 50/50. I wiped that along the grain very gently. 7. Waited to the next day the used a quality bees wax to get a final polish. As this was my first attempt and a very small piece, so it was about right as a start. I learnt a fair bit and would get a better result. If I were starting on something larger I would suggest you try a small test piece. It takes time, but you learn a bit. For me the main lessons were: 1) apply a small amount at a time. 2) keep the mixture at room temperature. It was too cold in the garage and it made it harder to work. 3) wait the full six hours between coats. 4) make the rubber surface smooth and crease free, including the inside bit, and don’t make it too tight. At the end of each session put it in a sealed jam jar. 5) In one coat, I let the finish smear and did not sand it off enough. I can still see it now in the right light, so don’t leave it - either sand it off or if not yet dry try rubbing it more with a small bit of oil and or alcohol. Alcohol will remove a lot, so you may be back a few coats, and it will probably look uneven. Sand that when dry and just built it up again. Overall I am pleased, and think any imperfections are my faults, not the Rustins. I would not mind at having a go at something else too. It was quite pleasing. The pictures show the wood I started with and my end result. ## Features - Extremely flammable liquid and vapour. - May cause damage to organs. - Achieve a Stunning High-Gloss Finish: Rustins French Polish delivers an exceptional glossy shine that enhances the natural beauty of wooden surfaces; suitable for furniture restoration and fine detailing - Durable and Long-Lasting Protection: Provides a tough, protective coating that safeguards wood from daily wear and tear; ideal for high-traffic areas or frequently used furniture - Easy Application for All Skill Levels: Whether you're a professional woodworker or a DIY enthusiast, this French polish is straightforward to use with excellent results; ADD TO BASKET now - Versatile Use for Various Projects: Perfect for antique restoration, musical instruments, and handcrafted wooden items; suitable for hardwoods and softwoods - Trusted Brand with Proven Results: Rustins has a long-standing reputation for delivering effective wood care products; this French polish is no exception, meeting high standards of performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0059SKZR6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,706 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 22 in Varnish 581 in Nail Design | | Brand | RUSTINS | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Country of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,009) | | Finish | High-Gloss | | Included Components | French Polish 1ltr | | Item Form | Each | | Item Type Name | French Polish 1ltr | | Liquid Volume | 1000 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Rustins | | Material | Resin | | Model Number | FREP1000 | | Part Number | FREP1000 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Antique restoration, musical instruments, handcrafted wooden items, high-traffic furniture, wood restoration, furniture gloss | | Unit Count | 1000.0 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RUSTINS - **Finish type:** High-Gloss - **Liquid volume:** 1000 Millilitres - **Material:** Resin ## Images ![RUSTINS French Polish 1 Litre - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lPZPlngWL.jpg) ![RUSTINS French Polish 1 Litre - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71d-RZ9H3vL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by F***C on 21 March 2026* As described by the seller, quality is great , works wonderfully, polishes well, easy to use,highly recommended ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent result for beginner with raw wood start *by P***W on 28 February 2023* I wanted to make a new arm board for my turntable, so I started with 30x8 cm in newly cut American Walnut.
