    Default Best way to clean wax off

    I have been using Ubeaut Traditional Wax to protect from glue squeezeout. It works, but what is the best way to clean the wax off afterwards. I have been trying various hydrocarbons (turps, white spirits etc) but I suspect there is a better way.

    any suggestions
    thanks, Arron

    I use thinners, works like a charm & dries real quick!

    Suspect all you want, and then use turps.

    Suspect Ubeaut furniture reviver would do the job - it seems to work well for everything else.
