I've built a box that has a top that is closed by pushing the top in dados on either side. It worked fine before finish (lacquer) was applied. I did make the dados a little wider in anticipation. Now, it is somewhat "sticky" when closing the lid and tends to catch. What is a good wax to apply? I don't have any paste wax, so thought I might try soap, candle wax, or an auto rubbing compound. Another thought is Pledge. Before I apply anything to the lacquered surrace and dado, any do's or don'ts, or recommendations? Thanks.
