MinwaxPaste Finishing Wax, 16 oz., Natural Finish

Works great on my table, band and scroll saw tables. Keeps them slick and rust free.

Perfect for adding shine to wood without changing the color.

Easy to apply easy clean up . works great

This was recommended to me by a woodworking craftsman. He makes custom furniture for rich people. I used it on 2 pieces. One was a rustic dining table that I wanted to look as natural as possible. It did not change the color at all, but seemed to bring out the wood grain and the finish is so soft to touch. The second piece is a nightstand that I used bright colored furniture stains on. It was bleeding on the objects I put on the table. I used this wax finish as a way of sealing the color. It not only worked well, but the finish looks so much richer and more professional. It looked like a home project before, and now it looks like something you would find in an artsy furniture store. It's completely changed the look for the better. And that creamy soft feel is amazing.

Purchased to help protect the deck of my table saw as my prior brand is now discontinued. This worked great for the job, material glides like an air hockey table.

Deciding to use Wax instead of a poly coating was difficult the first time. It takes more time to apply, takes multiple layers and more.But the resulting finish can be worth it all. After the first time, I was hooked.I like the hard layer with a soft warm glow it adds. With MinWax paste finishing wax in neutral I can enhance the natural intensity of the color I used on the piece and still protect it. I can change the color of the wax, use less or more.Waxing is more a issue of time, desired finish and the way a piece will be used or displayed. It definitely makes you involved more than brush or spray on finishes.It is a easy, hands-on technique to do. Adds a true personal touch to the finish and your work. MinWax does make it easy!

A++ works Great

It was my first time using this product but I was very pleased with the result (photos). I applied small quantities of wax buffing it for some time with a fine steel wool pad and then wiping it off with a fine cloth. It is somewhat oily while being applied but the resulting surface stays dry and polished. In this case it was applied over a matte water-based poly. I let the poly set for over 24 hours. It definitely gives the poly finish that one extra step, making it more pro-looking and the wood shines through very nicely. My only doubt was about the wax consistency, is it supposed to be hard, crumbling to pieces out of the can? Mine was. I was expecting something more like a hard paste, but again it was my first time. Definitely will use it again in future projects.
