I don't know why you say it hasn't caught on much yet. It has been around for 40 years or more, but to the best of my knowledge has just not been obvious to guitarists (maybe that is what you meant). I heard about it years ago dealing with fountain pens. I have some but have yet to put it on any of my guitars. I guess I think about the addition of the mass (as little as it might be) to the soundboard and that turns me off. Tom

Renaissance wax is microcrystalline wax and it indeed is used in museums. I work in the museum business and use it for several different applications. It is a very durable wax and shows very little fingerprinting. Tip:
This stuff dries harder than Chinese arithmatic! I would suggest applying it to small quadrants one at a time, buffing after about 3 minutes drying and then moving to another quadrant rather than say applying to the full top or back. Use sparingly and buff with a nice clean piece of flannel. Change the buffing flannel to new pieces throughout the procedure. Like I said earlier, it dries hard and takes a bit of elbow grease to buff. It does give a nice shine however.

To BuckeyeSooner: Do you think Renaissance Wax would be safe for a varnish finish?
Alex: It is used on varnished oil paintings as well as some rather expensive cellos that I know of, so I do not think that it would hurt your varnish finish at all. You might test it on a small area and see, but I'm certain that it would be fine. It truly is a very good product. Bob (BuckeyeSooner) |
