white patches after waxing

[EMistral]

Hi all,

I have just finished a kitchen cabinet. I oiled it (china wood oil which is now rebranded as kitchen wood oil) 2 weeks ago, waited 10 days before waxing it. Same as I did on a previous cabinet 2 years ago.
I have noticed recently that I have now white patches of wax coming out.
a bit like if there was excess wax that coming out.
any idea why? I did not do anything special this time.
Any idea on how to fix this?
I could use a cloth and buff it quite hard and it would eventually be gone.
But that's going to be a long task since I would need to rub hard to get rid of it.
thanks

sounds more like oil under the wax, some grain absorbs more than other areas , and then with a warmer day will come to the surface.

what should I do? should I wait for the cabinet to get used to the kitchen environment so that all the grains come out before buffing the cabinet?

you can try stripping the wax off with some solvent than place the cabinet in a warm environment,after the solvent has evaporated , leave it for a couple of days, , wipe over to clean off any oil seeping from the timber.

then while the timber is warm , coat with your wax allow to cool and buff.

This should fix the problem, but I cannot grantee that it will.
