I need to remove carnuba wax from a bowl. I tried sanding but the sanding disc clog up from the wax. Any ideas on how to get it off?

I'm not 100% on this but I think rubbing it down with a healthy amount of mineral spirits is your best bet.

I wood keep sanding and changing paper, it will get less and less wax, as you go. Patience will pay off. Can I ask why you want to remove it. I never put wax on a bowl, or a wood floor, but thats just me.

Use mineral spirits, turpentine, or pure orange or lemon oil and a bunch of clean rags.

I have used mineral spirits and it works but have found denatured alcohol (DNA) works even faster! Watch out for fumes when using any of these products!
