I have a Crate & Barrel LIKE copper-top coffee table (Collina collection) and C&B advised me to periodically use furniture paste wax on it. Is this wax safe? OR only for wood?

Trewax is a high quality paste wax, almost pure Carnauba wax. It can be used on almost any surface that isn't flexible, like rubber or plastic. It should be great for your table. A little goes a long way, so avoid build-up where there is no wear, by applying to the top once a month or so, and to the rest, about every 6 months.

I think this would be perfect. I use it on ceramic statues. It does not have a strong smell, so I assume the solvents are pretty tame (and I use solvents in my artwork so I am pretty sensitive to them). This stuff is exactly what I would use if I had some fine woodwork to wax, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it on copper. All right, I was going to say try it on a hidden portion, but you don't have it yet, right? LOL. It's good stuff, as good as any they are thinking of, so I think it's fine.

This is wonderful wax for linoleum floors as well a wide variety of surfaces in addition to wood. Since the company that manufactured it advised using furniture paste wax, I would feel safe using this. I have never had occasion to use it on copper so I would probably test it on a SMALL area and wait a day to see if it caused any problems. Perhaps even something else you have that is copper? I will be interested in knowing how well it does work. Good luck.

I purchased this product to use on my copper dining room table legs and it worked great. I had a few issues with getting the wax out of tight crevasses, but overall it did a great job. I hope this will assist.

PS if you look below, there is a whole set of answers to someone who wanted to use it on copper, they are good answers with good info.

No, wood conditioner is something totally different from wax! Wood conditioner will help the stain penetrate evenly, preventing blotchiness. You can use wax after you stain, but that isn't going to give you a very good protective finish, plus you would need to use a paste wax.

Oz furniture polish has NOT caused buildup in the 30 or 40 years that I have used it. I polish all my good furniture once or twice a year with OZ.

I have used a clean cotton cloth. It's very soft so it won't scratch or damage the wood. Cotton has worked the best with spreading the wax. I have found that synthetic fibers like polyester or rayon don't give an even coat.

Sorry to hear that about your dog! I wouldn't use wax as a filler for damage. It may help out to buff out minor scratches. I've only used it on furniture with fresh paint.

I have used Renaissance wax on over 100 collector grade firearms and I am very pleased with it. I am sure that once a year would be more than adequate for your trophy. With the firearms I am dealing with protecting both wood and metal. When the directions are followed both the wood and metal seem to look better and they are protected from heat moisture and dust.

This isn't really a polish so much as a conditioner. I would only use it on a surface where you want some of its moisture to sink into the wood to keep it supple and to resist stains\markings. Personally, I would recommend against a lacquered surface since the wax of it would simply leave a dull film on the surface vs sink in and do its work in the wood. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. It is a wax and won't hurt anything. I used this stuff on everything from cutting boards to my maple island, soapstone countertops to outdoor furniture and even my house trim indoor and out)..... anything wood. Wonderful stuff.

It appears to be beeswax with oil and fragrance. I have used it on a Maple drop leaf table we picked up in a used furniture store.The table looks wonderful! You do need to rub in the polish a good bit or it can be a bit sticky.

The can of Trewax Mahogany Paste Wax that I received for Fathers' Day has not been opened. But it sounds and feels like the older can when both are shaken. My older can was ordered from Amazon around February, 2013, and seemed a bit dried out, but has been used without problems.For furniture needing a "deeper" cleaning and waxing, I use Howard Restore-a-Finish (Mahogany) followed by Howard Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner.

I will not recommend use on furniture, some of the ingredients can damage the finish of varnished wood.

Have regularly used it on a teak bedroom set, living room tables and dining room furniture. I prefer star brite over other teak oils I have tried. I also used it on an outside teak deck. Tip: I maintain a new looking surface on my furniture by using a very fine sand paper "soft block" to annually clean and smooth the oiled surface.

I use this product exclusively on my Mahogany Duncan Phyfe Dining table with no ill effects. The man that made the new top for my table (I wanted a wider, bigger table, so I used the original pedestals and had a new top made) insisted that we use only Oz on the wood. It cleans nicely and does not leave a waxy residue. It hasn't effected the finish or the quality of shine at all. If it works on my table, it should work on your cabinets as well. BTW, I've used Oz for three years.

I hope that you enjoy the tumbler. I purchased mine a month ago (?). I have been using my tumbler to polish silver, steel, and copper jewelry that I make. I have been using stainless steel shot, water, and a bit of dishwashing liquid. I have only been using one of the barrels so far.

It does not do well on a paste waxed surface(it leaves a spotty finish)-how it reacts to other finishes I do not know,I would be cautious,but bare wood or layering on top of previous coats of Johnson's is what it is meant for.

I clean it with furniture polish and also with a multi-surface cleaner such as Pledge Multisurface. I've had this table for about 5 years now and love it!
