1 lb Minwax 78500 Natural Paste Finishing Wax Protective Finish

Used it for wooden dollhouse flooring. They turned out beautifully. Would recommend.

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.

To protect my iron gate, I treat it every year with Minwax paste. It creates a protection and nice sheen. The application is easy and non messy. I applied using a sponge and the paste dries quickly. One can will allow for 2 applications so I think it’s worth the $.

Not sure how old this can is, but top is quite rusted.Other than that, works just as it should.

Makes a nice glossy surface, only time will tell how if it holds up.

Wax on, wax off. Easy with a nice finish.

This was recommended to me by a woodworking craftsman. He makes custom furniture for rich people. I used it on 2 pieces. One was a rustic dining table that I wanted to look as natural as possible. It did not change the color at all, but seemed to bring out the wood grain and the finish is so soft to touch. The second piece is a nightstand that I used bright colored furniture stains on. It was bleeding on the objects I put on the table. I used this wax finish as a way of sealing the color. It not only worked well, but the finish looks so much richer and more professional. It looked like a home project before, and now it looks like something you would find in an artsy furniture store. It's completely changed the look for the better. And that creamy soft feel is amazing.

Paste wax has 1000s of applications in a woodshop. I use it to "grease" all jigs/tools with metal rails. For example, I use a log-holding jig to cut round log slices on a bandsaw. Adding a small amount of wax where metal touches metal improves the sliding of the jig significantly. It also helps a jig to slide in a miter slot. I use paste wax over some wood finishes to add that shine. Minwax is my go-to brand. This can lasts months. It's a great value and great product. I will continue buying this paste wax.
