I have used Renaissance Wax for years, but never on stag. How do you apply it? Using it on something smooth like ivory or some stag would not be a problem for me, but how do you do it on the gnarly stag with lots of deep crevices? I would think it would be nearly impossible to remove/buff it where it wouldn't leave a whitish residue behind. Please guide me on the proper way to use it on stag. Thanks.
I use this medium bristle brush that came in a shoe shine kit years ago. I rub some renwax on the stag, with a paper towel, and buff it with the brush a few minutes later. It seems to work well.It usually comes off pretty good when dry. For any pesky crevices (or around/in pins) I use a cheap toothbrush after the wax dries.
I used it on my cold steel Trail Hawk to Stain the handleSo far after a year plus of wiping knives down with CO I've encountered no rancid smell, no gumming up. It enhances patina on carbon and gives a moisturiser to wood and horn. It also pimps up the look of handles for photography We all find our own way, ultimately
