Warwick wax

[markytbass]

After reading the thread on ding removal and melting wax I was wondering what Warwick wax was like? I have 2 types of beeswax, Bri-wax which is hard and in a tin and Lord Sheratons pure beeswax balsam which is very soft almost creamy and in a glass jar.

What sort of finish does the Warwick wax leave?

The Lord Sheratons leaves a soft shine to the wood but you can still see the grain in the wood if that makes sense. I havn't tried the Bri-wax on the Warwick yet but on other wood it has buffed up quite glossy.

Any feedback will be great.

Sorry, no idea about the Warwick wax, but that Lord Sheratons sounds as though it might be quite tasty on toast.

Warwick wax is soft and, depending on the wood, leaves a slightly shiny polished finish. On a Warwick Thumb with a Wenge neck the finish is almost gloss over time, whereas on lighter coloured softwoods the finish appears more matt (doesn't soak into ash or maple as much).

I put some of the briwax on tonight (the bass not me) and it is deffo shinyer than the Sheratons stuff which goes dull after about a week. Also when I first stuck the Sheratons balsam on the neck is made it draggy for about a week (worse with sweaty hands). Where as I have used Briwax on the neck of my Warwick and my Jazz (mighty mite) neck and it is well smooth and fast. The Briwax also brought out the colour in the Dolphin body.
