Greetings fellow WWers,
Some time ago (confession... 2 years!) I made a stand for a large gong... jarrah and rosewood(!legal... very old stock)... all glossy, hand planed surfaces.
In my rush to get it finished(!), I coated with with a self made finish of tung oil and (pure / hard) carnuba wax... heated... dissolved... creamy wax... rub on, wait, rub off... done...a tried and tested solution.
Sadly, I became ill.... and could not rub off the finish on time... and so the surface is still coated with streaky white hard (carnuba) wax lines.... UUGGHHH!
I do not want to scrape or sand these off... I would prefer to apply a solvent and rub the excess wax off.
Any suggestions as to which solvent I should be using?
Now... to save bandwidth, I have tried native terps and orange oil... these just dont bite it.
Many thanks, g.
