So I got my JPW, but before I go ahead to wax the table surface can anybody tell me if there is a prefered technique. Obviously the areas that come into contact with the wood are the priority however is there an issue with wax getting into the grooves and being tough to get out without indavertantly removing the wax on the surface?

As long as you're just using a rag with no solvent, you don't have to worry about removing too much wax. The thin film you need won't come off too easily with a rag. So, better to do a reasonable job of removing the excess in the grooves.

I agree. If you put the Johnson's wax on the entire surface, wait a bit, and then wipe the excess off you will be fine. If you do not get all the excess off, especially out of the grooves, it will not create much of an issue and you essentially cannot get too much off - the worst that will occur is you will remove all the wax and have to start over. With a dry rag, you will leave enough wax on the top surface to make it slick and prevent black marks on the wood.

I put on an adequate coat, whittled a stick and scraped out what was in the grooves, and polished with a t-shirt wrapped around a block of wood, then used my stick to quickly remove what was left in grooves and numbers. Took me about 15 minutes, total.

Where does one get the proper wax? Is it a furniture wax or car wax?Comment

Any wax that doesn't have silicone in it. Silicone will get on the wood, causing problems when staining or finishing.Originally posted by wreckwriter
Johnson's paste wax is always a good choice, although some people have a favorite option hidden their cabinet.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

OK, so JPW is a furniture wax then. Just needed to know which store to look in

Lowes stocks the Johnson's, I think that's where I got mine. It might even be at Walmart or well stocked supermarkets. Most local hardware stores have it as well. In Lowes, it is in the cleaning supplies area.
