• Renaissance Wax

We use Renaissance Wax on prints to help reduce bronzing & metamerism. The Renaissance wax is very easy to apply with your old gym rag T-shirts, your significant other has been asking you to throw away. We apply Renaissance Wax with a fine Scotch-Brite pad or Rag, putting it on as thinly as possible and buffing it vigorously with a soft cloth after a very short wait. It takes one or two coats to do a thorough job to create a nearly perfect surface.

Renaissance Wax was originally developed in association with the British Museum for restoration and protection of art treasures, and is a superb micro-crystalline polish ideal for use in the shop. Renaissance Wax is our all-time favorite coating for reducing friction, preventing rust and corrosion, and putting a shine on anything that needs it. Though it seems fabulously expensive, Renaissance Wax lasts so long and works so well that even the most frugal woodworker will find it a genuine value. It is an excellent polishing agent for any wood or metal surface, leaving an extremely hard, thin coating of astonishing durability with excellent resistance to water, alcohol and fingerprints. Used on furniture, Renaissance Wax will be the toughest wax you've ever used. In fact, it's the only wax we know of that's likely to be as durable as the finish underneath, resisting staining and marring in any household or office setting.
