Guess you'll have to move.

Show me.


"MEE (Moisture Excluding Effectiveness) of "Paste Furniture Wax": One
Coat = 6%; Two Coats = 11%; Three Coats = 17%."

Bzzzzt! Denibbing wears the shellac off any bumps, effectively leaving
no finish on those areas. They might rust.


Wrong again.


How can sanding (light, but sanding nonetheless) NOT remove the finish
on the high spots?


If you can't knock off the dust and nibs without taking off the
finish, you need to take a good look at your technique - or maybe you
should switch to 4/0 steel wool from whatever you're using.
