Making Papa's Polishing Paste for Wood Turning PPP

In this video I show how I make a High Gloss Polishing Paste for wood turning. It could be used for flat work as well.
Link for How I make Abrasive Paste below.
This is for polishing only. It is not a sanding abrasive paste
See the link below for my abrasive paste.
I call it Papa's Polishing Paste or PPP Triple P
Very simple to make and very inexpensive.
It is best to use a soft paper towel to apply and buff out.
I also have a video for abrasive paste which I have been told works as well as some of the store bought products. I am thrifty so I have never bought any of the products like Yorkshire Grit or Hampshire Sheen.

• Make a simple Sanding ...
BE SURE TO ONLY USE FOOD SAFE INGREDIENTS IF YOU PLAN ON USING IT FOR FOOD USE. MY TURNINGS ARE NOT FOR FOOD USE
Looking for a good paste already made then I recommend trying the ACKS product.
I think it is the best product of this type I have tried.
I RECOMMEND ACKS PASTE AND IT IS FOOD SAFE

Beautiful work! The bowl turned into a gorgeous piece of art! The wax you made sure did work on this piece; it’s nice and calm, yet has a amazing shine. Absolutely gorgeous! Bravo!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Mary. I think this is one I gave as a wedding gift and they loved it. Take care, Gary

Best explanation of it I've seen

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you!

[@StuffUCanMake]

I will never be able to thank you enough for the special gift of Triple P. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your gift!

[@ThePapa1947]

Well thank you very much and enjoy the use of it and the fun of making it yourself. After all its all about "StuffUCanMake" Gary

[@douglasperry1226]

Thanks Gary for the info much appreciated! I think I like your more than many other turners on KZbin! Happy Turning!👍🏼💫🪵

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Douglas, that is very kind of you to say. Take care my friend, Gary

[@geraldshultz4271]

Thank you Papa good lesson. Boy is that purple beautiful. You are an awesome turner.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Gerald. Unfortunately I did not film that one. I did make a similar but that was with my first camera which was not that good. So I doubt if I will upload it. I will just make another one like it. Thanks again . Gary

[@bradmcnamar5679]

Another great addition to your video. I've been sort of binging your videos and am learning a lot. You, Sir, are quite talented!

Thanks for the tip Papa, I'm going to try this out next time I go into my workshop.

[@ThePapa1947]

Sounds good Ron I am sure you will like it.

[@stevenjobbins2600]

Thanks Gary Triple P so simple yet looks so effective

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Steven. It works very well. I am working on another video where I show how it really shines on its own. Gary

[@williambosco6004]

This also works well on end grain for your outdoor deck, stairs and so on. It really seals the end grain from water. Just brush it on while hot. I never thought to use it as a polish, will give it a go. Thanks for the video

[@ThePapa1947]

Well now that is a great idea. Thanks for the tip. Gary

great stuff papa . really love the bowl . easy process the sanding paste is just as easy with a little elbow grease lol. you know the mixing and what not . good job sir

Thank you Dark it is about the same as trying to get the lumps out of your gravy. If you can do that then this is easy money...LOL Thanks for watching. Gary

[@judithfairchild8620]

Thanks for the info I have furniture that needs polishing. Doing it that way will be a good way to have something that's fragrance free and that I'm not allergic too.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Judith and I just used it on a flat surface myself. Works good. Take care, Gary

[@trentdavis1314]

Thanks for sharing this. I've been getting into making my own finishes lately and I'm looking forward to giving this a try.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Trent I really enjoy making what I can and have been playing around with some finishes. I mix my own wipe on poly. Basically thinning it down to what I like to use. I found I should only make a small batch because it gels up fast if it is not used right away. Thanks again, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I guess I thought it would still have an abrasive in it, just finer than you used in the sanding paste. But, it sure works so that's the objective! Thanks Gary! Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Well that is a good thought. Extra Extra fine abrasive paste. And it still has the beeswax. For sure this is easier than using beeswax from a stick and rubbing against the bowl. I have never tried that and have never wanted to. It is fun to experiment....I think I was supposed to be a mad scientist...but in stead I ended up a Old Man. Thanks Phil, Gary

[@huwdavies5264]

1st to comment. Hi Gary, Thanks for sharing your "Secret" recipe. That finish is extraordinary. Will be making this along with the abrasive paste. Cheers, Huw

Thank you very much Huw. Thanks for being the first to comment. Mums the word it is a Secret! LOL Oh me and my big mouth. Seriously I hope everyone can benefit from this. Thanks again my friend, Gary

Thank you very much I appreciate your comment. Gary

[@williambosco6004]

Here's an update so I did your mix but I added some rottenstone in it, boy what a shine, and if you use a felt pad it gives a higher shine. The finish I use is mohawk pre cat lacquer

[@ThePapa1947]

That sounds great William. Have you seen my video for making the Abrasive Paste. I use Diatomaceous earth in it which is like rotten-stone. The link for that video is in the description of this video. I am interested in trying pre cat lacquer I will have to give it a try. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Thanks Gary, I will make a batch. You know i've already named you paste. I call it "47paste". But, being it is yours "PPP" is cool with me. Take care, Larry

[@ThePapa1947]

Larry 47paste is great for the abrasive paste. PPP for polishing or P47 might be good. I ordered the LED tealight but not very bright. Maybe you could get me a link for what you got. Thanks for watching. Gary

[@TheWoodWhirler]

@@ThePapa1947 Pretty sure the ones I got were on e-bay. I sent you an e-mail with the link. See ya, Larry

[@TheWoodWhirler]

@@ThePapa1947 Oh, one more thing. How about "47wax" or "47polish"?

[@ThePapa1947]

Perfect....either one.works for me. But maybe 47polish might be more fitting. Then you can use it as 47release "agent"

[@tomekapompey563]

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.

Nice, a little different than my recipe, I added a little carnauba wax also.

That sounds like it would work wonders with the carnauba wax. Excellent tip. Thanks Tim, Gary

@@ThePapa1947 I call it Moonshine Polish. Love the name you gave it.

[@ThePapa1947]

@@moonwoodworks4607 well I really like the name you gave yours. Very fitting!

[@crackerjack3359]

Neither mineral oil or bees wax have a long lasting effect as a polish. I only use them on cutting boards that are to be cleaned and polished regularly. Have you tried using carnuba instead of bees wax in your mix?

[@ThePapa1947]

I have not but sure will try it. Thanks for the information.

[@mexibilly4]

Papa I’ve watched both videos you made about the sanding paste and polishing paste. Say Your doing a project, what makes you choose the PPP instead of the sanding paste and vs versa? Is it the material or the finish your trying for?

[@ThePapa1947]

Hi Glen The abrasive paste has grit in it so it is like using ultra fine sand paper. It really levels the lacquer out. The PPP is like using a high luster wax. I hope this helps explain your question. If not let me know. Gary

[@jean-louishoules5198]

Thanks very much Garry, very interesting for me, but I have a little question: mineral oil, is with Parafine? or vaseline? because in France it could be one or other (perhaps tha doesn't mater, but if yo had the chemical composition, thanks to tell me if you can. I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy new year. JL 1947

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much JL 1947! So the mineral oil I use is what you can get at the drug store or grocery store. It is what some people take when they are a bit stopped up.. www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-mineral-oil-usp-lubricant-laxative-prodid-1011823?skuid=152355&WT.mc_id=ps_google_pla_152355&cgaa=QWxsb3dHb29nbGVUb0FjY2Vzc0NWU1BhZ2Vz That should help you see what it is.

In the current state of our poor old World economies are essential. I do use one of Captain Eddie's finesse but widening the choice a little may well work for me. The whole World is will have lunatics in charge. I have my finger crossed on that one. I'm working through your splendid list on my phone now as a computer scamer wrecked the computer my family bought for me. I'm trying to trace a friend of mine that devoted a room in his home to attract scammers and passing the details to the authorities. All I know of him just now is he is high in the Scottish Highlands to minimise interference. He had some remarkable systems of his own design for his entrapment that was serving him we prior to his move. He has built search and kill equipment for a few of his colleagues. I wish him well. I'm still not out in my shed but I'm making plans and you methods siut my style. Thankyou.
