glo fake


Recommended Posts

Anyone no of a supplier with stock or anybody have a couple of tins laying around they could spare :wink:

 

Just run out and CB rep says they cant get any more,not enough demand...

 

Yankee wax neutral doesn't give the same shine but if anyone uses another alternative I'm a listening..

Quite right Lee, Gloflake was manufactured by F.Ball & Co of Leek Staffordshire of which Caswell is or was part of.

The fire would have stopped production but I have a feeling that someone was after this well before the fire and could not get it as production had ceased due to lack of demand. It was mainly the older guys and competition enterers that used it. I still have a tin but would not part with it as I use it for other purposes.

 

If you have the inclination you can find an alternative quite easily but it takes time searching.

The new furniture polishes (Briwax and similiar) used on Natural Pine and untreated timber are almost identical, you can get them in several shades as well as clear.
