Craft Coat Wood Finish – Premium Waterborne Linseed Finish

Elevate your turned pens with Craft Coat, the ultimate water-based finish designed specifically for pen makers and woodturners. This one-component, linseed oil-modified waterborne urethane delivers a professional, high-gloss shine with exceptional durability – perfect for exotic woods, resin hybrids, and everyday pen blanks.

Craft Coat self-crosslinks upon exposure to air, creating a tough film that's highly resistant to scuffs, mars, impacts, and chemicals. It provides the rich depth and gloss of traditional oil-modified urethanes but with superior adhesion, even on dense or oily hardwoods like exotics.

Why Pen Turners Love Craft Coat:

• Lightning-Fast Application on the Lathe: Apply as a wipeon polish – multiple coats in under a minute apart (just 30-45 seconds between layers). Build a brilliant gloss quickly without waiting hours.
• Low Odor & Easy Cleanup: Water-based formula with minimal smell. Cleans up with simple soap and water – no harsh solvents needed.
• Safe & Eco-Friendly: Contains no toxins or chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects (California Proposition 65 compliant).
• Versatile Use: Wipe on while turning, brush, spray, or dip. Dries to touch in ~20 minutes; ready for sanding/recoating in 1-2 hours.
• Outstanding Results: Deep, mirror-like shine that enhances grain and color. Excellent for stadium-style resin blanks, wood, and hybrids.

Quick Application Tips for Pen Turning (Friction Polish Method):

1. Sand your blank smoothly (up to 600-2000 grit for best results).
2. With lathe running, apply a small amount to a soft cloth.
3. Wipe on thinly –  dries quickly in just a few seconds.
4. Wait 30-45 seconds, then apply the next coat. Build 6-10 layers for a satin-like finish. For more open grained wood, 10-15 coats can be needed.
5. Final coat off the lathe for extra smoothness.

Full Application Instructions:

• Surface Prep: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, dust-free, and sanded smooth.
• Methods: Wipe on with foam brush, microfiber cloth, spray, or dip.
• Drying: Touch-dry in 20 minutes; recoat in 1-2 hours (longer in cool/humid conditions).
• Cleanup: Soap and water.

NEW LOOK!! Same great polish!!

Magic Juice now has an easier to follow step system of numbers for the bottles.

Magic Juice is available in 10ml Sample sets, 1oz sets, and 2oz sets. MJ is also available individually in 2oz bottles.

Get your Magic Juice holders HERE.

How to use:

Magic Juice (MJ) is best used as a polishing compound for solid resin materials and plastics. MJ may also be used to polish items with a CA (Cyanoacrylate), CC (Craft Coat), or other similar product finish. For best results of hybrid and worthless wood blanks, a sealing finish of CA, CC, or similar is needed before polishing with MJ.

Prepare your turned items by wet sanding up to a recommended 2000 grit, however stopping at 800 grit is acceptable. Using a lathe speed of 2400-3000 rpm, work through the six-bottle MJ set. Start with STEP #1 and work up the numbers, with STEP #6 being last. A pencil eraser sized amount is all that is needed from each bottle. Polish the sanded item with mild pressure for 20-60 seconds. You will notice a change of a mild grit to a smoother feel while polishing. That smoother feel is your indication to move to the next bottle.

MJ is not recommended for use on friction polish finishes or raw unfinished woods. Magic Juice is water based; do not allow it to freeze.
