Or is wax proof against that - and is there a sort of initial applicatin
wax as against lokking after it wax?

If so I'll give it a try

No, you will have to look after it. Mind you when the matt poly starts
looking bad you will have more work to do to renew it as a finish. Have
you thought about using a tougher varnish and matting it down once its
dried?

There are often discussions about wipe-on poly finishes in rec.woodworking.
They could offer a finer, flatter finish with the durablilty of poly
varnishes.

Can't find such a product in Axminster catalogue - are they available in the
UK? Has anyone here used one with success or otherwise?
