Hey guys I hate waiting for my projects to dry after applying finishes and I have heard of some high shiny friction finishes, does anyone know the names of any of these or where to get them? Thanks

General Finishes has wood turners finish, water based. They say it even out performs CA glue finish. Its not a friction finish. I have tested it some and its pretty darn good. But if you need to gain fill. Get a small can of General Finishes Enduro-Var for the first 3 coats until your grain is filled. Then finish up with the wood turners finish.
Also comes in a squirt bottle size.

General does not friction polish well. Just plain old cheap deft does pretty good.

I stand by Shellawax by Ubeaut. I have used it on small objects and bowls. It is fast to apply and will polish to a high shine very nicely.
