Title: Home made paste wax
Post by: Don on June 11, 2013, 10:54:22 pm

Found this on Earth Pigments.
Everyone has a favorite I know. I found this works very well.
4 oz. bees wax
1 cup turpentine
Melt wax in double boiler then [remove from flame if used] add turpentine slowly while stirring. Let cool.
I cut mine in 1/4 so if I didn't like it I wouldn't have a lot.
I put on by hand, rubbing till it flashed, let set for a bit then buff.
Thought others might like to know.

Don, thanks for sharing. Seems I've heard about this somewhere before, but have never tried it. I'll have to give it a go.
