waxes

|

Hi all, I'm going to be trying my first wax finish in a couple of weeks and was wondering what everyone thought was the best wax/formula to use. Gerald used a mix of butcher brand bowling alley wax, linseed oil, thinner and jap drier, and I found a premixed(?) wax from Sculpt Nouveau that is "specially formulated" with additives to help protect the metalwork(I found this on www.sculpt.com)

Tinted or clear? The job is an indoor rail with a burnished finish. I don't mind if the color leans towards the blackened steel look, but other than that no other colors.

Suggestions?

Jake
