Uses of a French Polishing Brush

How to Use a French Polishing Brush

  1. Ensure the wood is properly prepared, clean, dry and free from dust.
  2. Load the soft natural bristles with a suitable French polish.
  3. Apply a thin, even coat in the direction of the wood grain.
  4. Work smoothly and avoid applying excessively heavy coats.
  5. Allow the polish to dry before applying further coats.
  6. Continue building thin coats until the desired depth and sheen is achieved.
