Wax covered Mallet
 

wrote:
Picked up a Harris Tools 30 oz mallet the other day, and it is covered
with
a thick coat of wax, almost like a candle wax. Wood is NOT lingum
vitea (sp) and
is tauted as being check-resistant. I know the wax is there to reduce
mositure transfer,
but should some of it be removed? Running a thumbnail across it lifts
flakes off. I'm
wondering if this would flake off and get on the wood and bench,
interfering with a
finish.

I'd take it off before I used it. It's gonna come off over time
anyhow.
