Default Product similar to Watco Finishing wax?
HI all,
I spent a good part of this morning running errands. After visiting many of the hardware stores in my area I still couln't find anyone who carries Watco Finishing wax. does anyone know of a comparable product? I had wanted to try the Rhadigan method of finishing a couple of small carvings and he uses a mix of the Nat and Dark as an antiquing solution.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Chris

I am thinking I got my Watco wax at Walmart, I have both the Nat and Dark. I would try some of the larger stores like Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart rather than hardware stores. It might be a little more of a specialty product rather than just plain ole paint.
Good Luck
Gene
