first practical experience....

..the wax favors itself more than paraffin type waxes do. Those waxes shed themselves pretty easily and and feel "dry". Micocrystalline wax is tacky until you get it moving.

I waxed a london plane tree handle earlier and then ran shellac into it and tried the wax on handles. it's interesting - different than paraffinic. it seems like it might be less transient to make up for the initial tack.

time will tell - I can't really tell which way the seesaw tips initially.

i have powder PTFE and am tempted to start putting it in stuff, too - like melting a small bar of this wax with PTFE to see what happens, and putting some PTFE in a thinned high toughness finish to see what that does.
