Highly effective polishing material for calcite, fossils, limestones, marbles, granites and some other stones.

Only to be applied once a very smooth and scratch free surface has been achieved with 1200 Grit wet-and-dry sanding paper. Tin oxide will not polish a rough and unprepared surface. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZOIC PalaeoTech","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":39262186635327,"sku":"TINOX-1","price":6.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":39262186668095,"sku":"TINOX-2","price":12.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":39262186700863,"sku":"TINOX-3","price":27.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":39262186733631,"sku":"TINOX-4","price":50.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":39262186766399,"sku":"TINOX-5","price":90.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg (sometimes there may be approx. 1 week lead)","offer_id":39569650909247,"sku":"","price":423.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/4695\/7631\/products\/Tinoxidestackpolishingpowderfossilfossilammonite.jpg?v=1615364996"},{"product_id":"fossil-polishing-pack","title":"Fossil Polishing Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlways wanted to polish your fossils at home?
