Daniel Sorbera Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I can't remember where, but I heard that after a tung oil finish you should put a wax coat on. If this is true what kind of wax do you use? I'm guessing it's not your average car wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mledbetter Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 any fine woodworking store. woodcraft sells it. there is a beeswax/carnuba wax blend that is pretty nice. Gets a great sheen. the carnuba component hardens it up a good bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Straightup carnuba is fine but I would wait a week before I tried it. The tung actually goes through a gelling/solidifying stage for a few days. The good liquid/paste car waxes made of carnuba are fine as long as they have no silicone or petroleum additives.

frank falbo Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Minwax paste "finishing" wax is my personal favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdog Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Minwax paste "finishing" wax is my personal favorite. ← I'll cast the second vote on the Minwax Finishing Paste. It is easy to apply and easy to buff off......It leaves a great looking shine and is inexpensive and found almost everywhere( Home Depot, Lowe's and most hardware stores). You can spend a lot more $$$$$$, but not get a much better wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Alex Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 get some food grade beeswax(kind they sell for butchers blocks and wooden utensils) then you can eat off of it. dont know why by I have an urge to eat a steak dinner off the back of my guitar now. and I'm serious about everything I just said too, I'm getting hunger pains now.

And its way cheaper than minwax(certainly in my country, i cant eve nget titebond glue here!) and that sort of stuff, AND you can pot pickups with it!!! Edit: rereading it the last post did seem a little odd, so I'm sorry for freaking you out. Edited June 8, 2005 by Mr Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
