Yes, I've worked it.
Be careful as it is a bit soft and requires time on the 600 wheel to get out the rough scratches that go pretty deep into it. Than a bit more on the next levels to get rid of the rest etc.
Sort of reminds me of hard wax.
It shines up nice though and most of the work can be done on the finer wheels.
John- It's like that 'Spiderweb Japer' you got from me.
Good luck!!
