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

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.

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

I have this table in Yuma Arizona. I use either teak oil or olive oil as required. The wood does dry out but has done well. I am a winter visitor so it is not exposed to hot summer sun so that may extend its life. It's a beautiful set.

Yes, you can clean it with furniture polish, as suggested by a site online. Or, as I have done as well, I washed it down with a damp cloth with a little cleaner. I like Mr. Clean with Febreze. Hope this helps.

If the wood is clean, you're fine straight out of the can. If the finish looks murky, or the old wax looks dirty, you may want to remove it, first. H.F. Staples Wood Cleaner is great for this. You'll be amazed at how much grime old wax can hold. Just read and follow all directions. TreWax will give you a really nice, durable shine. It's also wonderful for floors. We've used it for years, and been really satisfied.

I never use furniture polish on the Rafferty Table, Jane. Sometimes I may use a very slighly damp tee shirt type rag. I have these table a little over a year, and found that this works well.

My friend got their table from Crate and Barrel and it seems identical to this one. We had the opportunity last month to use both of them and I could not see a difference.

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.

I have used it on both wood and metal as a protective finish. The parts are not handled after applying and buffing wax. It has been a year and they still look great!

Yes definitely take it down to the grain of the wood and you'll get a whole lot better product. If you don't then Daddy Van's all Natural Unscented bee's wax furniture polish won't be able to penetrate into the wood, all you'll end up with is a sticky smear on the surface of your furniture. If you do take off your old polish you'll see Daddy Van's all Natural Unscented bee's wax bring out the beauty of your furniture.

Definitely NO !!!! This wax is a paste wax which remains solvent when applied so you can spread it, but it dries very hard. . If it dries in a crack or crevice, it will leave a hard white residue which is hard to remove. I only use this wax for smooth finish woodwork. I sometimes have to use a toothpick to remove from corner joins etc. I love this wax for furniture final finishing and have used it for many years. GJR (Woodsworker)

We simply used a wood cleaner on our hardwood floor then applied the Lundmark wax. We too love this wax and recommend it. So easy to use.

I use it on any of my would projects. I make furniture and accessories from reclaimed items. Any items that may be used for food i always use beeswax for the finish. It should work well on the table as long as it is a smooth surface. For a more durable surface I would suggest at least 3 coats with a good buffing in between coats. To make the buffing easier on the table surface I use an orbital buffer, the type you would use to buff a car. I have one that I use just for my furniture projects. It is a small one put out by Turtle Wax. Here is a link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/251425474054?lpid=82 Good luck with your project. I use it on any of my would projects.

If your furniture is sticky from the polish, you are using way too much polish...just a little dab will do ya! Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this particular polish if you don't want sticky, as I polished the heck out of the item I used it on and it was always sticky. I ended up sanding it off. If you want a very nice wax, get the Clapham's Wax. It's natural and buffs to a nice sheen.

Not sure if I can answer that - I think it depends on how severely you treat your furniture. I would want something more on a dining room table, but for a coffee table and end tables I think it would work fine. I used it on walnut cabinets I installed in a bathroom and it has held up really well in spite of all the humidity and temperature changes. I posted the results to a review I had read in Fine Woodworking Magazine and they rated it high in resiting rings from things like coke cans being set on it. Perhaps you will get a better answer from people who have used it more extensively than me. I would be curious to hear if anyone has had any problems with it.
