Thread: Finish over wax?

    Finish over wax?

    Hey guys I recently completed a project with a gloss polyurethane finish then rubbed out the finish with some paste wax and 0000 steel wool. The proplem is than I dulled the finish a little more than I wanted to. Is it possible to just add another coat of Poly over the top? Should I remove the wax? Do I need to remove the entire finish?

    Thanks
    Aaron

    Mineral spirits is the solvent for paste wax. Wipe the surface and then dry using paper towels keeping a fresh face to the surface. Do it twice. Then scuff sand with 320 paper and apply another coat.
