Clapham's Cutting & Sanding compound

Jun 22, 2009 4 Replies

I bought a bottle of this stuff at a woodworking show a while ago and I really like it - it lets me turn the inside of a bowl, or a rim, without tearing out the inner grain. The bottle is getting near empty though and I'm wondering if Lee Valley, or someone else in SW Ontario, carries anything similar. Looking forward to reading your suggestions. Bart.

Hi, don't know this product, could anyone explain what it is/does and how it is used please. Chris.

It's a liqued you wipe on the wood that makes the grains lift so your chisel can shear them off instead of ripping them out. Well, that happens to me when I try turning the inside of a bowl or a rim. Makes them come out all in one piece like they're supposed to.
