Machine applied paste wax

**Dr Oldz** · 05-15-2011, 12:01 PM

I use a paintbrush that is cut down. It applies to pad easier and still leaves the remaining product in the can neat. I really like applying by machine because you can get to wax so thin that any wax is a breeze to remove. Also applying liquids by machine basically makes a 16oz bottle last for years. I have a bottle of 845 that has been used appx 40-50 times and there is still a quarter of the bottle remaining.

e mail poorboys and ask them about putting it in fridge to harden it up so you can pop it out-i am sure others have contacted them with same question

Not a bad idea, it's pretty beat up from using a palstic putty knife to remove the wax. I would probaly have to remelt it

What speed is everyone using? I was using a putty knife to scrape DP Max Wax onto a LC blue flat pad, and on 3 it was turning even did it with just the weight of the machine.

I use what BobbyG mentioned... soft paint brush, gently brush it on top of the wax to make it melt a bit then brush it on the pad. Spreads thinner and easier. Scrape knife makes a bit of a chunk and the wax's still solid. I often find chunks of wax still attached to my pad and did not distribute properly around it.

Another way is to use 4" spot pad, fuzion and souveran have the biggest pot, easy to swipe with it. Others might need to bend the spot pad a bit.

Also use speed 2 on my D/A, slower movement kept the wax spreads better, a good swipe can last through 3 panels. Faster speed would only dry the wax faster and spread it heavily on your first fly and only last on 2 panels at best...
