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?
