piece to the other in one motion to ensure even coverage;
3: Use a safety cloth or paper towel to then buff to a shine.
 
Pro Finishing Tips
These sticks are intended for use on small spindle projects. Attempting to use on a bowl for example, will lead to difficulties.
They are specially shaped to fit into tiny details on spindle work such as finials.
Use a very light pressure to apply the wax. Hard pressure can lead to spirals along the piece.
When buffing, apply enough pressure to cause the wax to soften and smooth over the surface. Too much pressure will remove it from the piece.
These products may also be used on buffing systems.
All wax products will tarnish if left in contact with water or acids such as fruit or alcohol.
