[TheForge] Clear finish

[Mike Spencer]

JB> Johnsons paste wax, easy to apply , easy for customer to maintain,  
JB> simple to repair, doesn't crack or peel...

PF> Master Chase said to apply it just short of smoking hot and wipe off  
PF> the excess later.....this is an interior finish....pf

JB> Hot application makes sure there is no water trapped on the
JB> surface... 

It also makes (fairly) sure that the wax reaches crevices such as
forge welded joins in foliage, deep undercuts in animal heads or
riveted lap joints.  The downside is that runnels of excess wax may
accumulate in those crevices and turn to whitish scum.  But it's easier
to fix that up with a tooth brush or similar than to deal with later
rust pockets in those same crevices.
