We have a large antique dining room table that I'd like to protect with wax. The base finish is shellac.
I've tried a variety of paste waxes over the years (Minwax, Butchers, etc.) but none give a really nice finish. Ususlly you can see swirls where the wax was applied. I've tried waiting the prescribed time (10 minutes or so) and tried wiping off immediately. I've tried small areas at a time as well as large areas. Nothing gives me the results I think the table deserves.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
