French term or phrase: Foudur
Neither I nor my client can tell if this is a brand name, we haven't found it anywhere on Internet except in a question asking if it is toxic. Does anyone know what it is in English? The context is crafts, wood engraving. Here is the sentence:
...vous pouvez teinter avec de la CIRE A PATINER ou bien le peindre avec de la peinture acrylique. Lorsque le support est bien sec, passez du FOUDUR à l'aide d'un chiffon ou d'une mèche de manière à lisser le bois et à le rendre plus brillant ou vernissez-le avec un vernis acrylique ou un vernis à bois..."

Thanks for any help. We are probably going to leave it as is, but just in case one of you knows what it is...!

Wonderful! I told the client that there was a spelling error in the original text. I translated the text as WOOD FINISH (Foudur is a brand, like Minwax in English and I don't know if it's found in English speaking countries).

Explanation:
I found this on a medical questions website. Given the other products, it sounds like a non-brand thing...can't say for sure.
