Michael Ginsberg Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Just wondering... anybody put Renaissance Wax using a buffing wheel over Waterlox Original? Just applied 10 wipe-on applications on a Sepele bowl. Love the finish, but was not sure about the wax over it.... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 You can do it but I don't really see the point. It won't add anything in terms of protection or appearance, and you can achieve a silky smooth feel by simply polishing the existing finish. Also beware if you still have any open grain remaining (probably not likely under 10 coats ) that the wax can get caught in it and look...like there's wax caught in it.

thatCharlieDude Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Never used Renaissance Wax I usually use a beeswax and mineral oil mixture. Does it cure, is it food safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estesbubba Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Bowl looks great. I'm curious if you wiped back the Waterlox after applying? If you didn't I would have expected the bowl to look shrink wrapped with more gloss after 10 coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ginsberg Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I dipped a piece of old tee shirt in the Waterlox. Wiped on light coats. Left alone. The only coat I put on heavy was the first. Let it sit for a minute, then wiped the excess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ginsberg Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 When I spoke to tech. support at Waterlox, they said they recommend brushing 3 coats. I felt that would be too heavy. They said 3 to 4 wipe on coats equals one brush on coat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
