Members 9841507 Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 So I finished tru-oiling my neck and it's great, didn't tint like I thought it was but it has a really nice satin and I didn't buff the headstock so I got a nice almost nitro gloss on it. Now I want to wax it because I love the feel of the musicman necks (I'm guessing it's the tru oil+wax that makes them feel this way?) problem is I live in a shithole of a town in Canada where it would take weeks to get gunstock wax. If there is another wax that is the same as the Birchwood Casey stuff but more common that would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meowy Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Even better (cause I think the BC wax has silicone) is Butcher's Bowling Alley wax. Can be found in hardsware stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be found in hardsware stores ...and 1 tin will probably last you forever. They also have a version available in an amber tint: http://www.bwccompany.com/bostonpolish.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members k4df4l Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 I have the clear paste and the lid just says: "Butcher's Bowling Alley Wax is a clear paste wax, blended of carnauba and other fine waxes in turpentine and mineral spirits."

Members 9841507 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Does it feel like the EBMM waxes where it's very smooth and not sticky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 9841507 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hmm, I can't really find this stuff anywhere Fuck I live in a useless town. They don't stock anything useful in any of the stores around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members k4df4l Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Does it feel like the EBMM waxes where it's very smooth and not sticky? I use it on furniture and it's very smooth and slick when properly applied. If you use too much it's bitch to remove and would leave your neck sticky.

If you use too much it's bitch to remove and would leave your neck sticky. Worst case if that does happen, just hit it lightly with some steel wool or 1200 grit paper & naptha. It will cut right back. Does anyone know if the tinted wax is colorfast or will you end up with yellowed hands after playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 9841507 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yup going to end up ordering online but it's annoying since I have the guitar in pieces already and ready for the wax, by the time it gets here in 2 weeks the guitar will be back together and have the {censored} played out of it again.

Seems to happen every time I'm in the middle of a project too. It's really frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
