Question 1

Is this wax clear? I need to apply it over a white paint.

Accepted Answer

We ordered this twice and received 'natural' (both times) which will not work over white paint, but is meant to be applied to natural wood.  Amazon was good about sending another for free, but we received natural again.  It sounds like from other reviewers this is supposed to be clear minwax.  The word natural is under the bold 'finishing wax' logo with a color swatch of natural wood grain - FYI.

Question 2

Is this the paste wax recommended for waxing a table saw &/or jointer top?

Accepted Answer

I started using it 3 years ago on all my woodworking tools with any kind of surface, metal or wood. I sometimes build wood or melamine auxillary tables for my tools for big projects.  Stay away from waxes with silicone in them for wood working purposes. If there is any silicone residue left on the tool's surface and it transfers to the wood you're cutting it could prevent that piece from taking a finish or even create a weakend glue joint. This wax will not do that. BUT to be perfectly safe buff it off well B4 using it.  This stuff works great for creating a slick surface. I even use it on finished wood like drawers that slide on wooden runners. Wax on, Wax off just like the movie.

Question 4

I just ordered this product and am wondering if it's supposed to be solid? I was expecting more of a paste consistency, as the label implies.

Accepted Answer

While wearing gloves use an old spoon or stick to take out a small amount of the wax. With whatever your using it to apply (I use cheese cloth)it will be come smooth and cream as you rub it into your furniture. I actually let it sit for a bit, then rub with the grain until actual results are obtained.I have a special brush, a semi-firm round bristle brush to get into all the nooks and spaces.In warmer weather the paste is softer, but it does warm with the warmth of your hand. Please DO NOT try and heat it any other way, as it is flammable.
