I'd like to create an ebonized finish on some poplar using black shoe polish. I'm looking for pointers about how to do this:
1) Any particular brand of polish work better than another?
2) Should I just wipe it on and wipe off the excess immediately or let it sit for a few minutes?
3) Should I expect one coat to be sufficient?
4) Would it be possible to seal it afterwards? I've seen some comments that the wax in the shoe polish prevents any sealant from binding.
Any other experiences you've had, in particular what NOT to do :lol: would be much appreciated....
Thanks,
J
