I thought those finishes came in solid form? This was a sort of paste. It
could have been the ShellaWax that some have pointed out, I think they were
using out of a paper cup so I didn't see a product label. It definitely
wasn't pure shellac, waxed or de-waxed. Has anyone ever tried to make this
type of finish? I made some finish that was a mixture of beeswax and mineral
oil once. The thing I didn't like about it was that it never got hard, as
mineral oil doesn't polymerize. Could it be as simple as melting some wax
into some shellac? Any ideas on ratios?

I just watched an episode where he used a finish

I haven't seen that program, but sounds like a regular friction polish to
me (Mulands, HUT, etc.) . That contains, shellac and
carbuba wax.
