While taking the MiL out for mother's day this weekend, I ran across a
bee's wax product I have never seen before or tried. Shop owners said
they've used it on everything for years and love it. I stood there
reading the label and found a few oddities.

Label Link:

1. No list of ingredients.
Odd but ok. Maybe it is nothing but bee's wax but I doubt it.

2. Says great on Antiques, Furniture, Oak and more.
But the warning says, "Do Not Use on Wood". Say what?

...

It actually says don't use on "linoleum wood" or, iow, printed surfaces
for the obvious reason (it's got to have goodly amount of solvents to
dissolve what wax there is in the product in.

Also, the label also says it is "The Original Bee's Wax (with) Natural
Bee's Wax" where the (with) is in smaller print.

Google is your friend...

A search did _not_ find a link to MSDS, though, is there a lawyer in the
house?


Your google-fu is not strong, grasshopper.

Verbatim search for "original bee's wax msds" found as the first hit
https://www.toolsforworkingwood.com/store/item/MS-
SWAX/The_Original__Bee's_Wax_Spray, which has a link to
https://www.toolsforworkingwood.com/..._spray_beeswax.
pdf.

Now, the product name on that MSDS doesn't quite match, so I wondered if in
fact this was made by World Class Promotions.

Another search, on "World Class Promotions", yielded www.beeswaxpolish.com
as the second hit. Searching the code for the page doesn't find that hit
so it must be something associational in the google logic (or else I missed
something). However another hit was https://www.amazon.com/Bees-Wax-
Furniture-Polish/dp/B00N9COFPM, in which it is offered up by . . . (wait
for it) . . . World Class Promotions.

Not a lot of information there though--some kind of not terribly energetic
solvent and a propellant.
