Waterlox final step (paper bag)

[JD Dolan]

How long should I let the final coat of Waterlox cure before I use the paper bag method of removing nibs? Also, I should use MS or just the paper bag? Last question: Should I wax the surface when I'm done or just leave it as-is? Thanks in advance!

30 days or so is best; if you must do it sooner 2 weeks is OK... best to crumple the bag, that's wet with MS.

Wax is a personal choice; doesn't provide much protection and needs to be maintained.
I'm about 50/50 using it.

Thanks, Scott! I'll wait a month and skip the wax.
