I watched a youtube video today on making a baby rattle. The turner put paste wax on his sandpaper while finishing. Does anyone do this with wood pens? What is the purpose? Thanks to the info.
I recently saw a video where a guy used a combination of paste wax and mineral oil when he sanded on the lathe. He said he used it to minimize the sanding dust. It left a satin finish. I don't think you would want to use this method if you want to apply a finish afterwards.
I just found a web page that describes how to make the wax/mineral oil sanding wax.
