I'll be interested in your finding as well...
Being involved with building maintenance over the last 20 years, one thing I know about wax, if exposed to standing water for a long period of time it becomes milky and softens...
The future may be different in it's chemicle compound than the wax I buy for the plant.. it will be interesting to see if it pans out.... if so, it will be alot eaiser to deal with than epoxy or varnish... good luck!

Go get em Lu. Stay in touch. I'll be messing around a bit too, we can compare notes. BTW...my friend said the paint will definitly stick. They paint models after they clear coat, then clear coat again.
As a sealer I'm on the fence. I will probably do what Salty did on the other magic potion. Dip let dry then soak in water. Measure water gain and OD. My only thought is that it won't soak into the wood. So if this barrier is broken the wood will be exposed.
Anyone else have any thoughts on the stuff??

I tried this back when I was in the Army on my jump boots. Looks great; shines like a bastage. Only down side was it tended to turn white when it got wet......

I am going to give it a shot - I used that product on my basement office floor about 8 years ago and with some real hard use (rolling office chairs and a flood or two) it is still holding up well  .
I applied a coat of it over a junk plug that I had hanging around. I used a Q tip and found that Createx comes off some on the Q tip. I will give it a coat with an acid brush for applying and will post the plug tomorrow.  |

Bingo, put a glass of water on a table that has been waxed and lift after an hour, a white ring is left |
