I use Hut Crystal Coat on my turnings...mostly on my wooden pens. It works good but will leave a slightly tacky finish at 1st...it will cure though! You are welcome to try some of mine if you are close to the Roswell area. Woodcraft in Roswell on Holcomb Bridge Rd has it if your looking for it locally.

A new finish to try is the General Finishes "Woodturners finish". It's a water based finish that dries real quick....in about 5 to 10 minutes. The first couple coats will raise the grain but after that not normally a problem. Builds up real good. A lot of people are really liking it. I have recently tried putting a diluted coat of shellac as the base coat and then applying the woodturners finish.

The woodturners finish is suppose to be a very durable finish. It is suppose to be real similar to General Finishes "Enduovar" but the chemical make up has been changed somehow to make it dry real quick. If conditions are good, you can get 4 coats in about 20 to 30 minutes. Lastly, I will use the Beal Buffing System.

HUT crystal coat is okay but I like Myland's friction polish better.

I like Mylands when I buy it! I developed a finish using Minn Wax Poly, Upwards Feed and Wax, Boiled Linseed Oil and Denatured Alcohol that works heat for high speed finishing and it make the wood grain pop!

Go see Lee. The CA glue finish on small projects is really nice. I use midlands high friction polish on my bowls and bigger turnings.
