GUIN_Instru_2012 1/12/15 5:20 PM Page 3 Introduction Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the finest sanding and polishing kits in the world. The Guinevere® Flexible Finisher is a total system for final sanding, waxing and polishing. Guinevere sanding sleeves are made of highly flexible, top quality abrasive cloths, ensuring an extremely long life for each sanding sleeve. They are excellent for wood and may also be used to finish metal, bone, horn and other materials.

GUIN_Instru_2012 1/12/15 5:20 PM Page 5 Pliancy Test A simple pliancy test may be performed by pressing the sander together using your thumb and index finger. It should be easy to press down the rubber and sanding sleeve against the inner spindle. An alternative test is to take a 3/8” (10mm) dowel or pencil in diameter and press it in the middle of the sander. It should be easy to press the sander together against the inner spindle.

This may be because certain fibers absorbed water more easily than others or due to sanding with a heavily clogged abrasive sleeve resulting in fibers being pressed down on the surface. Also, the belief that by pressing hard improves the sanding result is incorrect.
GUIN_Instru_2012 1/12/15 5:20 PM Page 8 TIP 1: The inflatable sanders are surprisingly aggressive in comparison with other types of sanding sleeves or when sanding by hand. As soon as you feel the sander is removing too much, switch to a finer grit. TIP 2: Over very uneven materials where you want an even surface, you should move the sander quickly back and forth so that the tops are successfully sanded down.
GUIN_Instru_2012 1/12/15 5:20 PM Page 9 Drying Time Guinevere’s Organic Oil Wax dries in 1–4 days, curing time 2 weeks.

GUIN_Instru_2012 1/12/15 5:20 PM Page 10 To increase gloss, or for a more lustrous surface shine as well as further improve surface protection, you can apply Guinevere wax in one or more additional layers. Each layer should be applied thinly and left to dry for a couple of days before the next layer is applied. After each application, wax the surface with a brush sleeve when the oil has dried and hardened a little.
GUIN_Instru_2012 1/12/15 5:20 PM Page 11 SAFETY There is a risk of cloths and paper saturated in linseed oil spontaneously combusting. You should flush any paper you have used down the toilet or burn it – safely! After use, Guinevere brush and cloth sleeves should be kept fully sealed in glass jars. Surface Treatment Surface treatment is a science in itself! Rough and poorly sanded wood surfaces require a great deal of treatment; however, any wooden surface can be treated in many different ways.
