Naz Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I used to have problems when finishing detailed ironwork with the traditional wax/boiled linseed oil/mineral spirits mix. When dry, I would sometimes have wax build up in the hard to reach places leaving a pale yellow deposit that I didn't care for. I found the answer by blowing compressed air in those unreachable places while the mix is still in the liquid state. This still leaves the area protected with a coat of treatment without having to reach in with a rag.(and you can control the air pressure, I don't go at it agressively just enough to get the extra wax out). This saves me a lot of frustration and time. Naz Quote
