These stones are usually known as King stones or Sun Tiger stones. The stones of the King or Sun Tiger series have a relatively soft bond, which allows the abrasives to be constantly exposed during use, making the stone highly effective. These stones are especially suitable for extremely hard, low-alloy carbon steels (White and Blue Paper Steel). Before use, soak the stones in water for at least 15 minutes. They can also be stored in water permanently.</span></p> <p></p>

<p>Renaissance polish wax is effectively applicable to diverse solid surfaces, such as wood, metal, marble, onyx, mother-of-pearl, stone, ivory, plastic, leather, and even paper. Besides its typical role as a furniture polish, numerous art conservators employ it to safeguard oil paintings coated with varnish from issues arising due to atmospheric fluctuations. The polish also effectively diminishes the sheen of painting varnish. The soiled or fading hues of miniature oil artworks on ivory or leather are revitalized through cleansing with Renaissance.</p>

After conducting a series of tests in our luthier laboratories, we were very satisfied with the results obtained. Firstly, we found that the Grinepro sandarac resin is a high-quality product, which comes in a solid and transparent resin form. Its consistency makes it easy to apply to the surface of the objects to be protected, and its ability to harden quickly ensures long-term protection. In addition, the transparency of the resin does not alter the natural color of the wood and preserves its beauty. Secondly, we tested the Grinepro sandarac resin for the preparation of varnishes and lacquers. We found that this product has excellent solubility capacity, which means that it can be easily diluted in solvents such as alcohol or turpentine essence for the creation of high-quality varnishes and lacquers. The resin also contributes to giving a greater shine and protection to varnishes and lacquers, ensuring a durable and resistant finish. Finally, Grandi Liutai greatly appreciated the versatility of the Grinepro sandarac resin. This product can be used not only for the protection of furniture and musical instruments but also for the creation of craft and decorative objects, such as frames or boxes. Its ability to preserve the natural color of the wood and to provide a shiny and resistant finish makes it an essential tool for every craftsman. In conclusion, our evaluation of the <strong>Grinepro sandarac resin</strong> is extremely positive. Its high quality, ease of use, and versatility make it an essential product for every luthier or craftsman. We highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to protect, decorate, or varnish wooden objects.</p>

<p>Crossing files are a type of machinist’s file that are used for shaping concave surfaces. Crossing files have two rounded faces, one shallower than the other. This makes for a cross section that resembles a pointed oval. As the curves on both sides of a crossing file are slightly different shapes, it can file concave surfaces of different depths. Their pointed edges allow them to shape inside tight areas in watch hands and gears. This process, known as ‘crossing out’, is where the file earned its name. Crossing files are tapered in width and thickness to allow them to file in tight spaces. They are double cut on all faces.</p> <p>CORRADI has one century of experience in manufacturing of hand tools for metal and wood working and it is the only Italian manufacturer of Precision Files. The company, established in 1910 by the CORRADI brothers, is still owned by the same family and is now managed by the fourth and fifth generation.

<p>Aloe is a thickened juice derived from the leaves of various Aloe species. It belongs to the Liliaceae family and is indigenous to regions such as southern Africa, Egypt, India, and Mediterranean countries with a similar climate. In commercial trade, Aloe is often named after its place of origin.</p> <p>The process of extracting Aloe involves extracting the juice by cutting the leaves and allowing it to dry in the air. Alternatively, an Aloe extract can be obtained by boiling the dried leaves and evaporating the resulting decoction. This extract is considered inferior and is primarily used in medicine due to its high concentration of bitter substances.</p> <p>Two main varieties of Aloe can be distinguished based on their appearance, although there are also mixed forms. The first variety, commonly sourced from Capeland, has a shiny appearance because it is dried over a fire. However, prolonged storage may cause it to melt if it contains a significant amount of salt, which is considered an impurity. The second variety, known as "Leberaloe," has a dull, resinous, leathery brown exterior. Aloe sold under the name "Aloe Mosselbay" is a type of Kapaloe, while Port Elisabeth is another region in South Africa where it is produced but further east.</p> <p>Aloe contains aloin, an anthraquinone pigment. The percentage of aloin varies between 5% and 40% depending on the variety. Different types of aloin are designated with a prefix corresponding to the origin of the Aloe variety (e.g., Kapaloin). Additionally, aloinosides, which are glycosides of aloin, and aloeemodin are also present. Nitric acid can be used to extract chrysamic acid from Aloe, which appears as yellow leaflets when dried and dissolves in boiling water with a red color.</p> <p>Chrysamic acid is primarily employed for dyeing wool and silk. When combined with soda ash, untreated wool can be dyed blue or blue-gray, depending on the concentration of the dye bath. The resulting shade of blue is somewhat similar to indigo, but with a slightly reddish hue due to Orseille. In leather dyeing, chrysamic acid was utilized for achieving yellowing effects. Silk can be dyed with chrysamic acid, resulting in shades ranging from purple to rose red, and with a more diluted dye bath, various shades of pink can be obtained. Although chrysamic acid allows for other color variations, it is also commonly referred to as "aloe purple."</p> <p>Untreated Aloe readily dissolves in warm water and can be used to dye fabrics in yellow and brown tones, although the colors are not very lightfast. Without mordant salts, wool dyed with Aloe appears dark brown, while alum produces a reddish light brown hue. Ferrous sulfate yields maroon colors, and post-treatment with potassium bichromate darkens the browns. Due to the low lightfastness of Aloe-dyed textiles, it is often combined with other dyes. Aloe solutions in nitric acid are also utilized for dyeing wood, resulting in shades of yellow or resembling mahogany.</p> <p></p> <p>Product Data Sheet</p> <p>Product: Aloe capensis, powder</p> <p>Origin: South Africa</p> <p>Protected species (CITES): yes</p> <p>Harvest: wild gathering</p> <p>Fertilization: no</p> <p>Time of harvest: April – June</p> <p>Identity: complies</p> <p>Cleaning: manually</p> <p>Drying: drier</p> <p>Degree of crushing: ground</p> <p>Pharmacopoeia: complies to Ph.Eur. 2.8.13</p> <p>Pesticides: complies</p> <p>Chlorpyrifos and -methyl: < 0.01 mg/kg</p> <p>Heavy metals: lead, cadmium, mercury: tested</p> <p>Microbiology: complies to Ph.Eur, herbal medicines, Cat.

<h2 class="MsoNormal"><span>Amber for the preparation of oil paints</span></h2> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>The <strong>Amber Colophony</strong> is prepared by exposing Amber to a short-term temperature which occurs in vacuum, coupled with the simultaneous separation of the gaseous and liquid elimination products, results in the formation of a particularly high-quality rosin which is free from extraneous substances and is particularly suitable for the production of oil varnishes. </span><span lang="it" xml:lang="it">The reaction takes place at 300-450 Celsius.</span></p> <h3 class="MsoNormal"><span lang="it" xml:lang="it">It is above all indicated for the production of high quality varnishes in lutherie</span></h3> <h3>Our evaluation on the use of <strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-size:11px;">At </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">Grandi Liutai</strong><span style="font-size:11px;">, we have </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">evaluated the use</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> of</span><strong style="font-size:11px;"> amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> and found that its main function is to confer greater resistance and hardness to the paint, while also improving its adhesion. However, the use of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> in the preparation of oil paints presents some unique characteristics. Firstly, it is necessary to have a reliable source of high-quality amber, as its purity and properties can vary significantly. We have found that the processing of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can be complicated and require the use of specialized equipment. Despite these disadvantages, we have seen that the use of pyrolyzed amber can bring numerous advantages in the preparation of high-quality oil paints. Paints containing pyrolyzed amber have greater wear resistance, adhesion, and durability over traditional oil paints. In addition, </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can improve the transparency and brightness of the paint, giving paintings a more vibrant and brilliant appearance. In summary, Grandi Liutai is satisfied with the use of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> in the preparation of oil paints, which may require some attention and expertise but can lead to extremely satisfying results. When used correctly, </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can significantly improve the quality and durability of oil paints, giving paintings a more vibrant, brilliant, and long-lasting appearance.</span></p>

<p>Cold-rolled</p> <p>Made of spring steel</p> <p>Scraper Blades</p> <p>Scraper blades are indispensable for smoothing wooden surfaces, removing marks left by planing and routing, cleaning glued joints and levelling uneven varnish coats. Sharpened properly and burnished with a fine hook, they are capable of removing the finest shavings and leaving a smoother and more precise surface finish than can be attained by grinding. By varying the pressure, angle and curvature of the scraper, you can achieve superb results even against the grain (knotty wood, inlays, parquet etc.). We recommend using a fine-grain waterstone for finishing the cutting edge and a diamond stone or fine flat file for levelling and squaring the edge when necessary.</p> <p></p>
