Gobble, Gobb..AHHHHHHHHHHH Purchased som 5x5x2-3" bowl blocks from Rockler-look great for rosettes, but whole block coated with wax. Wood is wet. What is best way to remove wax-seems sandpaper would clog like crazy. Thanks, |

I use a scraper, Bob, then you could probably wipe it with naptha to remove any residual wax. Ron |

Yep, scraper... My Grizzly oscillating sander deck had 1/8" of oily wax on it, YUCK! A dull scraper and a rag with some paint thinner made it shine. |

Never use solvents atempting to remove wax from wood because if it dissolves the wax it will soak it deeper into the wood. Use hot water and soap. |
