| Post subject: | NOT HAPPY WITH MY FINISH |
I finished my first build using tung oil, which made the wood look beautiful, but i wasn't really thinking, and I wet sanded the imperfections out, and then waxed the top. the top isn't as 3-d as it was before I wetsanded, is there a way to remove the wax, so i can put a couple more layers of tung oil? the wax I used was a beeswax/carnauba wax/orange oil compound, that does look and feel quite nice, but I really wish I had put another layer of tung oil on after wet sanding. any advice? thanks a bunch |

As long as there are no silicones in the wax any type of mineral spirit should take it off with a bit of elbow grease. I use naptha but paint thinner works as well. |

thank you, sir! no silicones listed on the bottle, so I'll try rubbing it out with mineral spirits. |
