germain Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Is it a gentle abrasive? Does it apply something like shellac to the instrument or is it a combination of both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is shellac wax in a proprietary solvent. on we go Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Richwine Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Davide Sora posted a partial MSDS, but it appears to be mostly Tripoli/ rottenstone in an aqueous mixture of solvents, so it appears to be a very mild abrasive that cleans up easily. The nice thing about Tripoli is that it breaks down ever finer as you use it, and is the main ingredient in all kinds of rubbing and polishing compounds. I use Meguiars rubbing compounds myself, because they are inexpensive, convenient, and leave absolutely no contamination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davide Sora Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 The safety data sheet does not mention abrasives, but only solvents which are the ones that could cause toxicity problems. I do not think it is mandatory to mention inert non-toxic or non-poisonous powders in the MSDS. https://maestronet.com/forum/index.php?/topic/335625-another-polishing-with-texture-question/page/3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bress Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 The definition for inert varies by country and type of product. However, the general definition of "inert" in consumer products means an ingredient intentionally added that has low toxicity for the intended use.
