Minwax Paste Finishing Wax, Natural, 1 lb

Easy to use protection for my antiques.

I used this finishing wax during a DIY project on my kitchen cabinets, and it worked out really well. I wanted something to protect the surface without using polyurethane due to the strong fumes, and this was a great alternative. It’s easy to apply — just wipe on and wipe off — and it leaves a nice, protective finish. After several months, the cabinets still look great, and the surface holds up well. Water beads right off, which is exactly what I was hoping for in a kitchen environment. I’ve also used it on other items since then with good results. If you’re looking for a lower-odor option that still provides solid protection, this is a great choice. Five stars.

When I got around to gently restoring an old barrister bookcase system in which my father had stored paint in the basement, I wanted to clean it up (obviously), darken the orangey oak, shellac, then dull the glossy finish with a quick sanding followed by a couple hand-rubbed coats of wax. The Minwax Paste Finishing Wax worked perfectly. It was initially a little stiff and crumbly, but melted nicely once I balled up a golf ball sized wad wrapped inside a couple layers of cheesecloth. I rubbed it in using small circles, let it dry an hour or so, repeated once, then finally buffed with a microfiber cloth. Got exactly the sheen I wanted, a happy wife, a happy life!

Delivery was quick but I have noticed it taking a bit longer to receive items.

I've been using Minwax Paste Finishing Wax on various woodworking projects for a while now, and it's consistently my top choice for a protective finish. This wax is incredibly effective, especially when you want to achieve a classic, hand-rubbed luster without the heavy feel of polyurethane. The application is straightforward, even for a beginner. It's thick, so I recommend using a clean cloth or a double layer of cheesecloth to apply a thin, even coat. After letting it dry for about 10-15 minutes, a quick buff with a clean cloth or a weighted buffer brings out a beautiful, subtle sheen that truly highlights the natural grain of the wood. I've used it on everything from a newly built coffee table to old wooden dresser drawers that were sticking, and the results have been fantastic every time. It's a reliable product that provides long-lasting protection and a professional look.

Works great at preventing rust on my cast iron table saw. I purchased this specifically to protect and prevent rust on a new table saw 6 months and it’s still working. I did 2 coats and while it took a lot of rubbing to buff out the dried wax the durability makes it worth the effort.

Versatile good quality paste wax finish. I wipe it on metal table tops, tools and moving parts and then buff it for a durable long lasting finish that resists corrosion/rust and moisture. Also great for wood working projects as a final finish. A little goes a long way

It was my first time using this product but I was very pleased with the result (photos). I applied small quantities of wax buffing it for some time with a fine steel wool pad and then wiping it off with a fine cloth. It is somewhat oily while being applied but the resulting surface stays dry and polished. In this case it was applied over a matte water-based poly. I let the poly set for over 24 hours. It definitely gives the poly finish that one extra step, making it more pro-looking and the wood shines through very nicely. My only doubt was about the wax consistency, is it supposed to be hard, crumbling to pieces out of the can? Mine was. I was expecting something more like a hard paste, but again it was my first time. Definitely will use it again in future projects.

Blir en väldigt fin yta på träet

I bought this polish for finishing wood turning items and it is ideal for lighter woods. It's easy to apply and buffs to a very attractive lustre. The only issue is that it was shipped from the USA and took ages to arrive!

Old fashioned shine and protection.
