No, in fact the wax can ruin the polyurethane finish. Clean the floor with a good wood floor cleaner. Do not mop with water.

When hot waxing downhill skis can you apply a warmer temperature wax over a colder temperature wax?

Yes. You can also use a warm wax to remove other waxes or even dirt. Simply wax a warm wax on your skis and scrap the wax off while it is still molten. This is called hot scraping. So you can either hot scrap the colder wax out and then apply the warm wax, let it cool and scrap/brush, or you can just wax the warmer wax in.


Should you wax your surfboard every time you go surfing?

As soon as you get your new board, apply wax. Start with an undercoat of cold wax, and then apply a coat of cool wax. The temperature the wax is meant for is written on the packet. please note these guidelines are for surfers in the Uk, so if you live in a warm country, start with warm wax and then apply hot. Apply the wax in a motion similar to when you would rub out a pencil mark on paper, turning your wrist in circles. When the wax smoothes out, over time, use a wax comb to rough it up a bit. Every six months it is advised to sstrip of your wax (with the smooth edge of a wax comb of very carefully with a wall paper scraper or credit card) and apply two new coats.


How do you get melted candle wax out of your jeans?

Place a paper towel over the wax and apply a heated iron over it. The wax will melt and get absorbed by the paper towel. Repeat the process with a clean paper towel until the wax is completely removed. If any residue remains, apply a stain remover and wash the jeans as usual.


Can you apply a wax coat over a polyurethane finish?

A general rule of thumb is "clean, dry, and dull" for coating over an existing finish. The clean and dry is self explanatory, and the dull can be achieved by sanding with a suitable abrasive. A more suitable alternative to recoating existing lacquer would be a polymerized Tung Oil like Waterlox. Waterlox will give a "rejuvenating" sheen, excellent moisture resistance, and much easier future maintenance than either a lacquer or a polyurethane.

How should you apply warm wax to underarm hair?

Because the hair in your armpit grows in many different directions, it is best to wax the hair with a hard wax rather than a cream wax. The hard wax will harden around the hairs and you will get a cleaner result when you pull up the wax.

Why should you avoid from using too much wax on flooring?

You shouldn't use wax unless the floor was finished with wax. More than likely, the floor has oil or water based polyurethane on it. Why you shouldn't use wax on any polyurethane finish, it prevents the finish from adhering if you ever have the floor re-coated with poly. You will have to spend around two dollars a foot to sand them rather than .50 or .75 cents a foot to re-coat the floor. Prices depend on where you live.
