Hope Helps

For Lemon Oil: If the surface has an accumulation of old polish, first remove it with a cloth moistened with mineral spirit (paint thinner).

For Refinisher: Carvings, Turnings and Crevices: Take an old bristle brush and cut the bristles down to a stub. Dip the brush in Refinisher and work the old finish of the carvings with the brush. Be sure to wear protective goggles to keep spatters from your eyes.

For 100% Tung Oil: Do not apply 100% Tung Oil over an existing finish, nor over polish or grease. All of these must be removed because the oil must penetrate into the wood.
Some people apply Hope's Tung Oil full strength, but we recommend that you thin it. This will give you greater coverage and help the oil penetrate. We find that the ideal way to thin is... 1/2 Tung oil and 1/2 paint thinner.

Polish Tips: Start with a clean dry surface before applying polish. Working with a small area, apply polish directly on the surface. Immediately wipe up excess polish with paper towel.
When polishing stainless steel, rub with the grain.
Using a new paper towel, buff to a nice shine.

5 Tips for Perfect Glass:

  1. Use a premium glass cleaner and avoid formulations with ammonia or vinegar. Check labels for the two common ingredients which can cause streaks. Ammonia may also damage tinted windows, frames and other surfaces.
  2. Use cheap paper towels. Premium paper towels may be more absorbent but can contain wetting agents, dye and other additives, which may rub off on glass to cause streaks. And forget newspapers since they tend to leave ink smears on surfaces and hands.
  3. Use plenty of glass cleaner and paper towels. To get the best results with minimal effort, thoroughly wet the surface with glass cleaner then use two paper towels at a time to clean. When paper towels are saturated and dirty, throw them away and start fresh with a couple more.
  4. Work quickly, especially on hot, sunny days. Heat causes glass cleaners to evaporate faster so divide large areas into smaller ones. Thoroughly clean each section before moving on to the next one.
  5. Keep it clean. Dirt attracts more dirt so take care to keep surfaces clean - especially exterior windows. Dirt left over time becomes harder to remove and some types can etch the glass causing permanent damage.
