Just completed making my first box. Pre-cat Lacquer GLOSS finish. Just finished shooting it today, has to be given as a gift on Friday.
It has a couple of interior trays that slide. To reduce friction I wanted to wax the outside of the trays.
Should I apply the wax to the outside with 0000 steel wool? I'm concerned that this will dull down the finish, and I'm looking for gloss, and really don't want to deal with rubbing down these small trays.
And how long do I have to wait with the Pre-cat lacquer to additionally cure until I could use steel wool if that's the right approach?
Or should I just take a cloth and wax the exterior?
