What is the best way to remove the heavy wax used to protect some tropical woods? I have some that is close to dimensions and I don't want to cut off much wood. Should I scrub it with a solvent. This will be for risers in glass lam bows. Thanks.
Sand it with a belt sander.
Put a wick in it, light it, and have a romantic evening with your bride????
Sorry, couldn't resist!~
If you don't want to take off much wood you can hand sand it. But it gums up the paper pretty quickly so you'll use alot of it!
I find tht gently warming it with a hairdryer & then scraping with an old credit card (or similar) works well, without damaging any ofthe wood.
I take thin slices off with a band saw.
I just use a scraper and scrape it off. Doesn't make a mess and you don't lose hardly any wood.
Wipe it down with Fels Naptha. This is a sovent you can get in a woodworking store or section of hardware store.
