   Frank,

   What wax did you use? I've never seen wax that didn't repond to mineral spirits (or the like - naphtha). I don't think it would hurt to try other solvents on the wood - lacquer thinner, acetone. Are there silicones in the wax?

   frank, use lacquer thinners, several times. Use a cotton bud with it-- those small sticks with a wrapping  of cotton wool at either end, and draw the wax out rather than smearing it around.

   If you don't have lacquer thinners, use alcohol-- which is what I'm drinking now seeing as it's past 9 here and it's not Thanksgiving either, ha, ha-- ha, ha, ha. Slainte.

   SD and Rich,

   Thanks for you replies. It was "Bowling Alley Wax". I will try the laquer thinner. If it doesn't work I guess I can sand the whole thing again.

    

   Regards,

   Frank

   BIS, try drycleaning fluid Carbona being one choice.  Used to use Carbon teclachloride, but it turns out it's highly toxic   Steinmetz
