   If you can find it, you should try Renaissance wax next time.  It is fantastic.

   I think it is sold at Woodcraft Supply.

   I have used a lot of the Watco Satin wax over the years, and I like it a lot.

   No, it does not develop a haze as conventional paste wax does, but on the other hand it buffs out a lot easier.

   And, shaking it as you did is all that's necessary. But you might let it sit (on the suface) a bit longer before buffing.

   I like it because it produces a nice, satiny soft glow to the finish -- without much effort.

   How long do you suggest I leave it on the surface before buffing? Thanks for the help!

   That depends on how thick you glop it on. I usually apply it with 4/0 steel wool in very thin coats, and wipe/buff it after about 15 minutes. If it's not dry to the touch after that interval, wait a bit longer.********************************************************

   I use it to build a slurry when rubbing out varnish and have never been anything less than pleased. I've never noticed a haze and after final buffing there are no swirls. It's an easy "out-of-the-can" product and it yields a nice result.

   I've used the same product as a finishing wax for reproduction "scrub top" tables, too - figured maple tops and the like. Sand it in (after coloring the wood) with 220 and you'll get a velvet smooth time worn look.

   Shake a new can well. Shake an open periodically.

   It's a good product.
