Description
Fiddes Garnet Polish is Shellac based and creates a more rich and darker shade adding to the depth of colour of your wood. This is often used on antique furniture as it offers a more genuine French Polished look, especially on Oak. It can help to mask the grain but also create a beautiful sheen.
