[TheForge] Clear finish

[James Binnion]

Hot application makes sure there is no water trapped on the surface  
and is an excellent way to put on the first coat. If Andy is trying  
for a lighter color finish then not quite so hot as to smoke will  
still work and not carbonize the wax. And yes it is definitely an  
interior only finish.
