[Woodcarver] Woodcarver Digest, Vol 2064, Issue 1

[Celia Vardy]

How about pattener wax?   Used on bar surfaces comercially it gives a tough
waterproof and heatproof surface without leaving a tacky surface once
polished.  The only trouble is, I'm not sure where to get it anymore (used
to get it from Screwfix in the UK)  If anyone knows a supplier, let me know!
