Newbie here. Is it okay to put a wax finish over an oil based polyurethane varnish as a final coat?
Thanks
Bob

Sure...no problem, but why do you need to?

Sure, Bob. If you cut back the varnish with 0000 steel wool then wax it and polish it, it'll look a lot more "natural", as well as cutting down any nibs in the varnish.

Thanks for the replies!
I wax everything whether it needs it or not. It's all part of the process for me.
Yes, but Minwax suggests waiting 30 days until the poly has fully cured. I usually wait a week or so.

Wipe on or brush on? I'll bet the wipe on cures in a week...
I like to wait several weeks for a finish to cure (and fully harden), then I apply wax. I use wax on painted pieces too.
