This solid wax stick is a blend of carnauba and microcrystalline waxes. The 31g stick will last for ages. Generally used on smaller turned items, and applied to bare wood or over sanding sealer. It is easier to apply than a traditional carnauba wax stick. With the lathe running, gently, firmly press onto the revolving workpiece moving quickly over the surface. Then buff to a high gloss using a safety cloth or a handful of shavings.
